Slovakia’s Russia-friendly government accused its predecessor of treason and abuse of public office over military aid sent to Ukraine.
The Defense Ministry filed a criminal complaint against the previous government, specifically against former Defense Minister Jaroslav Nad, saying that the caretaker cabinet didn’t have the right to make such a fundamental decision, which left Slovakia without any air defense after it sent all its 13 MiG-29 jets to Ukraine.
