— There was never any legal analysis that would authorize the transfer of aircraft to Ukraine by the Heger government, — Meliher states.
The Secretary of State notes that the analysis presented by Nagy at the time did not meet the requirements of the official document.
What is known about the transfer of MiG-29 fighters by Slovakia
Recall that in the spring of 2023, Slovakia transferred 13 MiG-29 fighters and parts of the Kub air defense system to Ukraine.
The head of the Slovak Ministry of Defense, Jaroslav Nagy, said that the transfer was carried out by land for the greatest possible security.
At that time, a number of Slovak politicians and lawyers argued that the provisional government did not have the authority to donate fighter jets, since this was a “serious foreign policy problem”.
