Bratislava, April 8 (AFP/APP): Slovak Prime Minister Eduard Heger on Friday said the EU member had given Ukraine an S-300 air defence system, adding that it did not mean Slovakia had joined the conflict.
“I can confirm that the Slovak Republic has donated the S-300 air defence system to Ukraine, following Ukraine’s request for assistance,” Heger posted on Facebook.
“The donation of the system does not mean that the Slovak Republic has become a part of the armed conflict in Ukraine.”
He added that Slovakia’s defence “will be strengthened in the coming days by an additional missile defence system from our allies,” Heger said.
