Ukraine will have to give the Russian Federation part of the territories - the Minister of Defense
According to him, the likelihood of such a scenario is indicated by "reality on the ground. " In his opinion, it should be more important for Ukraine than its further foreign policy than the issue of borders. At the same time, Kalinyak noted that the aggressor in this war is undoubtedly Russia. "Probably Ukraine is not aware of the fact that it will never be able to accommodate between Germany and Switzerland, but will always have the largest border with the Russian Federation.
It is impossible to argue who is the aggressor here, because Russia has passed all borders, rules and violated international law, But it is necessary to pay attention to what is happening in other parts of the world and to apply the same standards to all other disputes, "he said. According to Kalinyak, Slovakia is interested in the end of the war as soon as possible through a truce and further peace talks.
In the office of the President of Ukraine and the Foreign Ministry, the statement of the Slovak Minister of Defense has not yet been commented. Earlier, Slovak President Peter Pellegrini also suggested that Ukraine may be forced to give way to peace. We will remind, on December 22, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fitzo met in Moscow with Russian President Vladimir Putin. In the Kremlin, he negotiated on the cessation of transit of Russian blue fuel in the territory of Ukraine from January 1, 2025.
