“Slovakia condemns yesterday’s and today’s massive airstrikes by russia on the territory of Ukraine, which reached Uzhhorod in Zakarpattia, near the border with Slovakia”, - said Slovak foreign minister Juraj Blanár.
According to him, Bratislava is concerned by the fact that the strikes hit areas “where a significant Slovak minority also lives”.
The foreign minister noted that these attacks occurred immediately after short ceasefire periods that “could have created space for de-escalation of tensions, a long-term and sustainable ceasefire, and at the same time the continuation of peace negotiations”.
