Slovakia\u2019s prime minister on Friday confirmed that his country has provided an S-300 air defense system to Ukraine against Russia’s aggression.<\/p>\n
“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.<\/p>\n
He added that it is his duty not to remain silent on the loss of lives.<\/p>\n
The Russia-Ukraine war, which started on Feb. 24, has drawn international outrage, with the EU, US, and the UK, among others, implementing tough financial sanctions on Moscow.<\/p>\n
At least 1,626 civilians have been killed and 2,267 injured in Ukraine, according to UN estimates, with the true figure feared to be far higher.<\/p>\n
More than 4.3 million Ukrainians have fled to other countries, with millions more internally displaced, according to the UN refugee agency.
