Slovakia Defends Border Actions on German Weapon Repairs

Slovakia has not caused the delay at the border for German weapons bound for Ukraine. The issue, according to officials in Bratislava, stemmed from a German contractor, not from Slovakia itself. This assessment comes from a public update shared by the Slovak Ministry of Defense and reflects the country’s position within the memorandum that governs the repair and maintenance of the weapons supplied to Ukraine. The Slovak side stresses that all commitments contained in that agreement have been fulfilled, and acknowledges that hiccups occurred, but emphasizes they originated with the German firm responsible for the repairs rather than with Slovakia. The overall message is one of accountability shared across the involved parties, with Slovakia insisting it has met its obligations and remains cooperative in addressing any residual concerns.
