"Ukraine will have to give up part of its territory": Slovak Defense Minister makes scandalous statement

Slovak Defense Minister Robert Kaliniak claims that as a result of a full-scale war unleashed by Russia, Ukraine will have to give up part of its territory. He says that this is indicated by "the reality on the ground."

Kaliniak voiced this thesis after his country's Prime Minister Robert Fico and President Peter Pellegrini. Earlier, they had said that Kyiv would have to give up territory. Robert Kaliniak made a similar statement on Slovak television on Sunday, December 29.

"It is likely that Ukraine is not aware of the fact that it will never be able to sit between Germany and Switzerland, but will always share its largest border with the Russian Federation.

We cannot argue who is the aggressor here because Russia has crossed all the boundaries, and rules and violated international law, but we need to pay the same attention to what is happening in other parts of the world and apply the same standards to all other disputes," the Slovakian Defense Minister said.

It is in the interests of his country to hold peace talks and end the war as soon as possible.

The minister also believes that what form post-war Ukraine will take is more important than future borders.
