Zelensky's visit to Slovakia
We will remind you that today, July 7, the head of the Ukrainian state arrived in Slovakia on a working visit.
Slovakia has been one of Ukraine's allies since the beginning of the full-scale war. It provides our country with both military and political assistance.
In particular, Slovakia has already handed over its MIG-29 fighters to Ukrainian pilots. The countries also agreed to start joint production of a new 155-mm self-propelled artillery installation.
