Ukraine: Von der Leyen arrived in Kyiv

Slovakia donated its S-300 anti-aircraft system to Ukraine. The Russian anti-aircraft missile system S-300, which was developed in Soviet times, uses precise guidance technology to destroy enemy aircraft or missiles. In a video message recorded during his train journey to Kyiv today and forwarded by the government office in Bratislava, Prime Minister Eduard Heger emphasizes that this does not mean that Slovakia itself is involved in an armed conflict. The NATO allies will also quickly get a replacement for the system delivered to Ukraine.

“With this responsible decision, Slovakia, as a country that supports peace, freedom and protection of human rights, is providing purely defensive aid to Ukraine and its innocent citizens.”, says Heger in the video message. He is convinced that the missile system will help “save many Ukrainians from the aggression of the Putin regime”. According to media reports that have not yet been confirmed by the Slovakian government, the S-300 missile system was delivered to Ukraine in a two-day secret operation.
