EU Response to the Humanitarian Situation in Ukraine: Engagement with Ambassador of Slovakia

H.E. Mr. Igor Pokojný:

Nevertheless, in the European Union, Ireland, for example, is a neutral country and Slovakia and others states are members of NATO.

We strongly support Ukraine being part of the EU. This can also require that Ukraine be a neutral country. There is no need for Ukraine to be part of some military organisation.
