Ukraine claps back at Slovak president’s controversial “territorial concessions” remark
Source: Ukraine’s foreign ministry
Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs swiftly responded to Slovak President Peter Pellegrini’s recent statement suggesting that Ukraine might need to make territorial concessions to achieve peace with Russia.
President Pellegrini’s comment implied Ukraine “must accept partial territorial losses” to end the ongoing war.
The suggestion drew a quick response from Georgiy Tykhyi, spokesperson for Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, whose pointed response reminded Pelligrini of Slovakia’s own history:
“The last time Slovak land was handed over to an aggressor in the name of peace, it didn’t end well. It brought neither peace to Slovakia nor to other nations,” Tykhyi emphasized.
This remark alludes to the WW2 times of Hitler’s aggressive campaigns and warns against repeating the mistakes of the past that proved so costly to European nations.
A kamikaze drone flies directly toward an armored personnel carrier. But instead of penetrating the hull, it explodes on a steel screen. The crew survives. This is the new reality for Ukrainian forces, who have received enhanced protection thanks to the Metinvest project within “Steel Front of Rinat Akhmetov”.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them there are charitable foundations and businesses. The list includes, in particular, foundations that provide assistance exclusively from their own resources, without fundraising (such as SCM by Rinat Akhmetov, Epicenter, etc.).
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
