The European Union should have a coordinated response to the challenge posed by Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “blackmail” with the supply of natural gas, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said Saturday.
He said Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is meant to "legitimize a despotic authoritarianism and enable any local troublemaker” to do the same, a hardly veiled reference to Greece's neighbor Turkey and the increasingly aggressive rhetoric of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
