Ljubljana/Brussels – Slovenia stands in solidarity with the Ukrainian people, who defend our shared values – freedom, democracy, human dignity, said Prime Minister Robert Golob at the summit on Defense and Security Strategy of Unity in Kyiv via video link. Minister Tanja Fajon also called for unity regarding the war in Ukraine at the EU foreign ministers’ meeting in Brussels.

“Today, more than usual, my thoughts are with the families, friends, and loved ones of all Ukrainian victims, with all the Ukrainian people. Slovenia stands in solidarity with the Ukrainian people, who also defend our shared values of freedom, democracy, and human dignity,” Golob said in an address to the assembled European leaders.

He emphasized Slovenia’s commitment to international law and assured that, especially as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, it will continue to strive for the end of the conflict and a just peace in Ukraine, according to a statement from the prime minister’s office.

“It is essential that the war ends as soon as possible and that an agreement is formed between the two sides on the future of their mutual relations. In the search for an agreement, Ukraine must be an equal partner, all the more so because it is a victim of aggression; because it is involved in a war it did not want,” wrote Slovenian President Nataša Pirc Musar on the network X.

Meanwhile, Slovenian Foreign Minister Fajon, at the EU foreign ministers’ meeting in Brussels, advocated for unity regarding the war in Ukraine. (February 24)
