Details

I received a message from the Italian government that the Italian air defense system, which they lent us for a year, will be withdrawn from Slovakia because they need it elsewhere

Fico then asked who would protect Slovakia's nuclear power plants and other strategic facilities.

First, the previous government handed over the existing powerful Russian S-300 air defense system to Ukraine. Then we had the American "patriots" for a while, and they left, and now the Italians will leave

Tusk criticized Fico for his position on Ukraine: "Guess where the border with Russia would be without our help"28.02.24, 10:14 • [views_28154]
