"Not Slave Government": Slovak's Defense Minister for refusing to supply new weapons to Ukraine

Robert Kaliniak says that Slovak's defensive policy has suffered from failures, so it is necessary to review it, as well as an agreement with the United States on the use of airfields by the US Army. The newly appointed Defense Minister of Slovakia Robert Kaliniak stated that they plan to change the conditions of a defense agreement with the United States because they do not plan to provide military assistance to Ukraine. He wrote about it on his Facebook page.

Kaliniak claims that Slovak's foreign and defensive policy has failed one by one, so now we need to change the Defense Cooperation Agreement with the United States. He considers the supply of military equipment and ammunition. Slovakia is a small country for which good relations with partners are important, as well as membership in organizations and obligations that are crucial.

During the meeting of Robert Kaliniak with US Ambassador, Gutam wound was a wide debate about security challenges and issues that were the common interest of both countries. "We have stated at a meeting that we appreciate good relations with our Western partners, but we are not like previous slave governments. We are grateful for constructive conversation and cooperation, but only one that is mutually beneficial.

At the meeting we have brought to the US Ambassador the position - We will not send new supplies from Slovak ammunition to Ukraine, and the defense agreement must be changed, "the Minister of Defense said. The US and Slovakia Defense Agreement stipulates that the US army is entitled to use two airfields. Instead, they were obliged to invest $ 100 million in Slovakia's defense infrastructure.
