Slovakia will press hard for Ukraine to become a member of the European Union and gain a candidate status as soon as possible according to Slovak Premier Eduard Heger. He made this statement after coming back from his joint visit of Ukraine with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and EU head of diplomacy Josep Borrell. They met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj, as well as Ukrainian Premier Denys Shmyhal.
Heger added that Slovak Government is also offering its reform team and is also ready to help with the repair of military equipment, as well as with wheat exports by rail. "Ukraine needs every single ally and help from the democratic world. I expressed our support to Ukrainians in Kjiv, as we realize that they are also fighting for us and our values, for democracy and freedom," stated Heger. "It is crucial for us that Ukraine wins the war and becomes our stable and prosperous neighbour," noted Heger.
