Slovakia, led by one of EU’s most Russia-friendly governments, condemns Russia’s drone strike on Ukraine’s Security Service building
Slovakia condemns Russia's SBU strike but urges "both sides" to de-escalate.
Russian drone strike on Ukraine's Security Service building in Kyiv caused injuries to 12 people, as reported by Slovak Foreign Minister Juraj Blanár on September 5th, following the attack on September 4th. The drone hit the SBU's central building near Slovakia's consular section in central Kyiv. Blanár strongly condemned the Russian attack, stating that the building had been operating on a limited basis due to security reasons and no one was inside during the strike.
Slovakia ordered the Russian ambassador to be summoned to seek an explanation from Moscow, urging both sides to avoid further escalation and pointing to a peaceful settlement. Blanár's rebuke comes as Slovakia, under Prime Minister Robert Fico, has been among the EU's most pro-Moscow governments and at odds with Kyiv.
