Slovakia is preparing for military protection of the eastern Schengen border with Ukraine. Defense Minister Robert Kaliňák of the Smer-SD party said this on Sunday's discussion program V politike on TA3 television. He also warned of the risk posed by the movement of unregistered weapons. SITA ↗
The statement came in connection with the security situation on Slovakia's eastern border, which is also the external border of the Schengen area. According to available information, Kaliňák spoke about the state's preparations to protect it, including through military means. He emphasized the need to respond to possible security risks associated with the war in Ukraine and with the illegal movement of weapons.
In the same program, the minister also commented on the broader topic of border protection and illegal migration. Referring to the events in the Spanish city of Ceuta, he stated that the European Union must change its approach to illegal migration and move toward a firmer stance.
The topic of border protection thus remains part of the domestic security debate as well as in the European context. Further developments will depend on what specific measures the Defense Ministry presents and how the state aligns them with the protection of the Schengen border.
