Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal plans to meet with his Slovak counterpart Robert Fico before the European Council summit on the allocation of €50 billion in aid to Ukraine.
"The European Council summit will take place on 1 February. Ukraine expects that a positive decision will be made there to allocate financial support to Ukraine in the amount of €50 billion under the Ukraine Facility programme," the Prime Minister said.
He noted that this programme envisages not only the allocation of funds, but also the systemic transformation of Ukraine on its way to the EU.
"Our Government has drafted a plan and a vision for this process. We have received comments from the European Commission, which we are already considering. In the coming weeks, we are also planning to meet with the Prime Minister of Slovakia Robert Fico to discuss all the pressing issues and remove possible obstacles to the implementation of the Ukraine Facility," Shmyhal said.
Slovakia may support Hungary's veto on the allocation of this assistance to Ukraine.
