According to him, how the United States can use the port is clearly defined in the bilateral defense cooperation agreement, and there will be no military bases there.
He noted that a land corridor to the Black Sea, alternative to the Bosporus, could pass through Alexandroupolis.
In October 2021, the United States signed a defense agreement with Greece, under which several new military bases were made available to it, including the port of Alexandroupoli. It has already become the largest for the transit of US military equipment to Eastern Europe and Ukraine.
Greece itself, as the media wrote, is considering the possibility of sending S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems from Crete to Ukraine if the United States sends Patriot missile defense systems in return. The Russian Foreign Ministry called such plans provocative and promised that such a step would not be without consequences.
