Details: In particular, as part of the declaration, Slovakia will provide Ukraine with an energy assistance package worth €500,000. These funds will be used to deliver 54 generators to Ukraine by the end of the month. Slovakia is also directing €300,000 as its second contribution to the Civil Protection Shelter Coalition, and €200,000 for medical equipment for Ukrainian hospitals.

Quote: "Cooperation under the EU's SAFE instrument received particular attention. A Framework Agreement on Financial Cooperation is to be signed, launching energy recovery projects worth more than EUR 100 million under the Ukraine Investment Framework."

Details: Fico and Koretskyi also discussed the opening of the remaining two negotiating clusters for Ukraine's accession to the EU and the launch of an EU Macro-Regional Strategy for the Carpathian Region, as well as the introduction of joint border checks and an electronic queue.

In addition, Slovakia has announced its decision to hand over three electric locomotives to Ukrzaliznytsia (Ukrainian Railways). Ukraine expects them to be running on European-gauge track in Zakarpattia by the end of the year.

Background:

• Slovakia is also joining the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children.
• Earlier, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico stated that Ukraine had asked the EU for €70 billion in additional aid for 2027, but Slovakia and Hungary would not join this initiative.
