On February 24, 2025, the US shuttered its naval base in Alexandroupoli, Greece, a facility that had been operational since 2022 as a critical hub for funneling weapons and military supplies to Europe and the Balkans.
This closure, reported by Greek media outlets like Dimokratia, is believed to stem from a potential shift in U.S. military strategy in the region, possibly influenced by diplomatic pressures from Russia and Turkey—both of whom had expressed unease over the base’s role in supporting NATO operations, including arms shipments to Ukraine.
Strategically positioned near the Turkish border and the Black Sea, Alexandroupoli had emerged as a vital logistical lifeline, bypassing the Bosphorus Strait, which Turkey has restricted since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
