Last minute: S-300 will send air defense system aid from Slovakia to Ukraine.

According to the breaking news, Slovak Prime Minister Eduard Heger announced that his country provided Ukraine with the S-300 air defense system.
Russian invaders withdrawing from Kyiv and Chernihiv are now preparing to attack Donbas and cities in the south of Ukraine.

In the occupation, which will take almost one and a half months, Ukraine received a great deal of weapon support from the USA and Western countries. The US anti-tank Javelin and the NLAW anti-tank sent by the UK changed the balance on the front line.

The US has also dispatched Stinger anti-aircraft guns that shot down Soviet helicopters in Afghanistan to Ukraine, with weapons sent by Washington to the Eastern European country since August 2021 reportedly worth $1.7 billion.

Czechia, one of the NATO member countries, shipped Russian-made T-72 tanks and BVP-1 armored combat vehicles to Ukraine at the beginning of the week. But the biggest leap from Europe came from Ukraine’s western neighbor, Slovakia.

The possibility of sending Russian-made air defense systems such as the S-300 or Russian-made warplanes to Ukraine has been talked about for weeks. Slovakia has officially announced today that it will send the S-300 to Ukraine.

Slovak Prime Minister Eduard Heger officially announced that they are giving S-300 air defense systems to help the Ukrainian army resisting the Russian occupation. “I can confirm that Slovakia donated the S-300 air system,” Heger said.

NATO members had deployed US-made Patriot missiles to Slovakia in recent weeks, replacing the S-300s.
