Slovenia sending rifles, helmets and ammunition to Ukraine

By: P.T., STA

Slovenia has sent rifles, ammunition and helmets to Ukraine, Defence Minister Matej Tonin revealed.

He would not talk about quantities beyond saying that the aid has already been dispatched with “several aircraft”. He said Slovenia had sent to Ukraine the Kalashnikov rifles that the Slovenian army had used before receiving the FN F2000 rifles. In this phase of the Russian attack, Ukraine needs anti-aircraft and antitank weapons as well as substantial quantities of personal equipment such as rifles, helmets, bulletproof vests etc., Tonin said.
