Prime Minister Janez Janša yesterday held a working meeting with the heads of competent institutions to assess foreign policy, security and cyber risks for Slovenia in light of Russia’s aggressive moves towards Ukraine.

The working meeting took place ahead of today’s extraordinary European Council meeting, which was also convened at Slovenia’s request, and the Prime Minister’s visit to Ukraine to support the country as it faces the threat of Russian invasion. Prime Minister Janez Janša is to meet his counterpart Denys Shmyhal and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, while Slovenia will also deliver material aid to Ukraine.

The EU summit and Janša’s Ukraine visit come after Russia recognised independence of the rebel-held east Ukrainian regions of Donetsk and Luhansk with President Vladimir Putin ordering troop deployment there. This comes aster Janša met heads of relevant institutions to assess foreign policy, security and cyber risks for Slovenia in the wake of Russia’s latest steps.
