Greek Defense Minister Nikos Dendias has underlined that NATO exercises are conducted with full respect for sovereign rights.
“NATO is an alliance of values, and all its exercises are planned with full respect for the sovereignty and sovereign rights of all member states,” Dendias stated upon his arrival at the NATO headquarters in Brussels on Wednesday to participate in a Ukraine Defense Contact Group meeting.
He also noted that the meeting would be chaired by British Defense Secretary John Healey, rather than his American counterpart.
Dendias highlighted that the NATO Defense Ministers’ Council, taking place on Wednesday and Thursday, would be attended by the new US Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth.
“It will be very interesting to hear his views,” Dendias remarked. “Understanding the stance of the new US administration on the Ukraine issue is of great importance.” [AMNA]
