Ukraine must receive weapons to defend the country against new Russian attacks, ensuring an end to Russia’s aggression as quickly as possible, said Slovak President<\/a> Zuzana \u010caputov\u00e1 in a post<\/a> on X (Twitter).<\/p>\n Read also:<\/b> Trojan Horse of Russian influence wins Slovak elections <\/a><\/p>\n “Another New Year, another atrocity,\u201d the President wrote.<\/p>\n \u201cRussia has fired a record number of missiles and drones at Ukraine\u2019s cities and towns to terrorize peaceful civilians. The best way to ensure Moscow\u2019s aggression does not continue into another year is to provide Ukraine with the means needed to defend itself.”<\/p>\n Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico confirmed that the country would not provide military assistance to Ukraine on Dec. 22, but would continue to provide humanitarian support. Private Slovak companies, however, are not prohibited from selling weapons to Ukraine.<\/p>\n After Fico’s party won the elections in October, \u010caputov\u00e1 opposed providing Ukraine with a new package of military aid at the end of the old government’s term, saying she “respects the election results.” However, soon after, \u010caputov\u00e1 called on the new government to continue its support.<\/p>\n Read also:<\/b> Slovak PM rejects military aid for Ukraine, advocates decade-long peace talks <\/a><\/p>\n We\u2019re bringing the voice of Ukraine to the world.
