/tass/. The Slovak government at a meeting on Wednesday did not make a decision on the transfer to Ukraine of the MiG-29 fighters decommissioned by the national Air Force. This was reported to journalists by Slovak Defense Minister Jaroslav Nagy.

"The government has not yet made a decision on the transfer of the MiG-29 to Ukraine," Nagy said, quoted by Slovak Radio.

Sending fighters to Ukraine was one of the topics of the Cabinet meeting held on Wednesday. "The decision has not been made. Negotiations are continuing in the international arena [on the possibility of transferring fighters to Ukraine]," the head of the Defense Ministry said.

In Slovakia, according to local media, there are 11 MiG-29s, 10 of which can be transferred to Ukraine, and one can be sent as an exhibit to a museum.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, at a meeting with Acting Prime Minister of Slovakia Eduard Heger held on February 9 in Brussels on the sidelines of an emergency EU summit, appealed to Bratislava with a request to transfer its MiG-29s to his country. Heger assured Zelensky that Slovakia would do its best to satisfy Ukraine's request. Assistance to Ukraine, as the Slovak politician said, "corresponds to the national interests of Slovakia and the interests of European security."
