Greek Frigates Continue Patrols in Cypriot Waters

The Greek frigates 'Kimon' and 'Psara' continue their patrols in the maritime area of Cyprus, as part of the strengthening of the defense of the Republic of Cyprus. The frigates are being refueled at the port of Limassol and are conducting patrols off the coast of Cyprus, as part of the preventive measures taken in cooperation with the Greek Government. The Hellenic Navy published a video of the departure of the 'Kimon' frigate from the port of Limassol, confirming the continuation of the patrols. Government Spokesman Konstantinos Letymbiotis stated that the presence of the Greek frigates contributes to enhancing the security of Cyprus. The frigates 'Kimon' and 'Psara' arrived in Cyprus last Wednesday and are part of a broader effort to protect Cyprus's maritime borders and deter potential threats. Cooperation between Greece and Cyprus in the field of defense is considered crucial for addressing the geopolitical challenges in the region. The presence of the Greek frigates sends a strong message of deterrence and reaffirms Greece's firm commitment to the security and sovereignty of Cyprus.
