Prime Minister Janez Janša expressed “full support for EU efforts for de-escalation” after EU leaders discussed the situation in Ukraine.
He lauded the EU’s unity on the issue, which he said would make it harder for Russian President Vladimir Putin to play his game. Defence Minister Matej Tonin meanwhile announced Slovenia would help Ukraine with equipment such as mobile kitchens, heated tents and dual-use equipment, but no weapons. In the first phase, Slovenia will donate sleeping bags, boots, diesel generators and gloves in the total value of EUR 62,000.
