Slovak Parliament says military sales to Ukraine must be resumed

The decision of the new government of Slovakia to stop supplying Ukraine with military aid concerns only military supplies, not commercial sales.

Pellegrini stated that he was in favour of resuming commercial sales of armaments to Ukraine.

"If someone orders and pays for these systems, then that is support for Slovak industry," – he said.

Germany, Denmark and Norway stated a year ago that they would buy 16 Slovak Zuzana-2 howitzers.

Earlier the Prime Minister of Slovakia claimed he would not support military aid for Ukraine as it would be better "if they negotiate peace for 10 years rather than kill each other for 10 years without any result".
