Former Greek Prime Minister Kostas Karamanlis, speaking at a public event in Athens on May 9, denounced the European Union’s war policy in the Ukraine. “Whoever supports a complete victory of any of the warring parties (in Ukraine), is either in no contact whatsoever with reality, or he wants the perpetuation of the conflict. And yet, above all, Europe is harmed by the prolongation of the war and its consequences. But instead of taking a leading role in the search for a way out, it is led, and carried awkwardly, and drawn by third-party choices. Worse still, Europe often appears divided over her political priorities in this crisis. But if Europe herself does not come forward to end the war, which is being waged on her own soil, the horizon can only be described as gloomy.” His remarks were reported and translated by “Defend Democracy Press” of the “Delphi Initiative.” (http://www.defenddemocracy.press/greece-former-pm-karamanlis-on-ukraine-and-turkey/.)
