WASHINGTON (AA) - US Secretary of State Antony Blinken had a phone call with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, during which they discussed Ukraine war as well as cooperation on energy and economy, said State Department Thursday.

"The Secretary thanked Greece for its steadfast support to Ukraine, including Greece’s strong sanctions enforcement and its extensive humanitarian and defensive assistance," said Spokesman Ned Price in a statement.

Blinken and Mitsotakis also discussed further ways to help Ukraine to defend itself against "Russia’s unprovoked and brutal war".

"The Secretary and Prime Minister also discussed an upcoming meeting of the 3+1 mechanism to strengthen energy and economic cooperation between Greece, the Republic of Cyprus, and Israel, plus the United States and advance our goals, bolstered by shared democratic ideals, for regional stability and prosperity," Price added.
