Too early to say how Slovak elections will affect support for Ukraine – Ukrainian Foreign Minister
Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba believes that it is too early to say how the outcome of the 30 September elections will affect Slovakia's position. He called for waiting for the formation of a coalition in Slovakia to understand what Bratislava's position will be on supporting Ukraine after the 30 September elections.

Quote: "We respect the choice of the Slovak people, but it is too early to say how the election result will affect Slovakia's position.
We need to wait for the formation of the coalition, and then, looking at the composition of this coalition, we can draw the first conclusions."
