Minister Lipavsky emphasized the need to openly oppose the policies of the Russian Federation, which launched the largest war in Europe since 1945: “Vladimir Putin is a serial killer. He sent one million people to the front – to certain death. He bombs civilians every day. This is the reality of a regime that attacks its neighbors.”

He stressed the importance of relations with Slovakia: “Minister Blanar was recently in Prague, and I will go to Topolcianky in early June. There, we will jointly commemorate the work of our first president, Masaryk. We are also preparing a cross-border agreement on emergency services, as we did with Austria.”

Lipavsky reiterated that the humanitarian situation in Gaza is critical and that Israel must allow aid flow in all negotiations:

“That’s why we welcome the opening of Israeli-American centers. Unfortunately, some countries deliberately avoid including the condition that aid should not fall into Hamas’ hands in joint declarations. For that reason, we often cannot support such statements.”
