Korčok: Another Sancki should make it impossible for Russia to finance the war! Moscow needs to be stopped – NEW TIME

This was confirmed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and European Affairs of the Slovak Republic Ivan Korčok (SaS nominee) in the Sunday program RTVS O 5 minut 12.

According to the head of Slovak diplomacy, Bratislava was mentioned because the intensity of political contacts between the Ukrainian president and Slovak political representatives has been high in recent days. “Zelenský apparently also thinks that we will ‘go’ to Bratislava. The Prime Minister of the Slovak Republic and the President of the Slovak Republic are in daily contact with him“Korcok said.

He described the situation in Ukraine as an “unprecedented war”. However, he said, Ukraine was locked up and was defending Russia’s military aggression. “This is not how someone thought Ukraine would ‘kneel’ within a few hours“the minister said. At the same time, he thinks that not all Russians approve of the actions of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“There is a need for a strong appeal to Russia to immediately stop military action and withdraw troops,Korchok said, adding that he needed to go to the negotiating table, but Ukraine could not go to him with a “gun at his head”.

According to the minister, Slovakia is helping Ukraine, both humanitarian and military. He confirmed that on Sunday afternoon the Slovak government will approve further military aid to Ukraine in the form of ammunition. The Slovak Embassy continues to operate in Kiev. “The embassy currently provides refuge to three Slovak journalists, Czech and British journalists, six Afghan citizens and three Ukrainians,” the head of Slovak diplomacy said.

According to Korchok, the initial retaliation against Russia in the form of sanctions is a thing of the past, and on Sunday the foreign ministers will discuss further measures. “They are to be essential. Stop further funding for the conflict“he said. Korchok agrees with Ukraine’s accession to the member states of the European Union. According to him, it is necessary to give this political signal to Ukraine, although, he claims, Ukrainians must go through a certain social path. “Even the symbolic ‘we will receive you’ has great mobilizing value at the moment for those who defend Ukraine,he remarked.
