The United States embassy celebrated Independence Day (July 4) on Thursday with more than 1,500 guests, ANA reports.
Sending a resounding message in defense of Ukraine, US Ambassador George Tsunis emphasized that the effort to support Ukraine must not flag. “We can not let up. While we sit in the safety of our homes talking about solidarity, they are the ones fighting and dying for these principles we hold dear. We cannot be nations of onlookers. We cannot be silent as one country attempts to redraw the boundaries of another by force.
“So I ask each of you, in ways big and small, to recommit to peace and freedom in a Ukraine that not only survives but thrives,” he said.
He made a special reference to the recent visit of former US President Barack Obama to Greece, saying that Obama reminded him that every person, both in Greece and in the United States, has a sacred, ongoing obligation to protect democratic values.
