Slovakia’s prime minister on Friday confirmed that his country has provided an S-300 air defense system to Ukraine against Russia's aggression, Anadolu Agency reports.
"I would like to confirm that Slovakia has provided Ukraine with an air-defense system S-300. Ukrainian nation is bravely defending its sovereign country," Eduard Heger said on Twitter.
He added that it is his duty not to remain silent on the loss of lives.
NATO member Slovakia has been operating one battery of the Soviet-designed S-300 air defence system which it inherited after the break-up of Czechoslovakia in 1993.
Heger, who was visiting Kyiv on Friday, also said that Slovakia's own defence was secured.
The Slovak donation is the first known case of a country sending an air defence system to Ukraine since the start of the Russian invasion on Feb. 24.
