From December 2021, he indicated the causes of the energy crisis: "Of the topics we discussed, I would like to highlight three. First of all, the Russian invasion of Ukraine. This is the cause of the problems facing European countries. Today, Greece and Germany are unanimous that it is in the hands of Moscow to end this war and withdraw its troops from Ukraine."
Greek Prime Minister Mitsotakis emphasized military cooperation and gave an example of the rotational deal to receive armored modern vehicles from Germany, with Greece sending its Russian-type ones to Kyiv.
