In Kyiv, on December 8, Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal met with a delegation of ministers of the Slovak Republic: Minister of Foreign and European Affairs Rastislav Káčer, Minister of Defense Jaroslav Naď and Minister of Economy Karel Hirman. 

The parties discussed the needs of Ukraine in energy equipment for the winter period.

"Due to russian shelling, almost half of Ukraine's thermal generation is either damaged or destroyed. Zaporizhzhia NPP and Kakhovka HPP remain occupied. Therefore, the support of Slovakia strengthens our resilience in the passage of winter," Denys Shmyhal noted.

The Prime Minister of Ukraine thanked for the new package of military assistance approved by the Government of Slovakia, which, in particular, will include demining systems, and for the plans to provide our country with about 300 generators.

In their turn, the ministers of the Government of Slovakia confirmed their intention to render assistance to Ukraine with weapons, finance, sanctions and EU membership.
