June 21 (Reuters) - The Slovak government has asked police to investigate the former cabinet and defence minister Jaroslav Nad for donating fighter jets and an air defence system to Ukraine to help it defend against Russia's invasion, a government official said on Friday.

The new government under Prime Minister Robert Fico made a sharp policy turn after it took power in October 2023 and halted military supplies to Ukraine, although it has allowed commercial supplies to continue.

The previous Slovak government last year donated a dozen Russian-made MiG-29 fighters that Slovakia had grounded and most of which were not operational, as well as the KUB air defence system.

Donating the air defence system exposed Slovak airspace and endangered citizens, said Ìgor Melicher, state secretary at the Defence Ministry and a member of the ruling Smer-SD party.
"I am convinced that Nad betrayed Slovakia," Melicher told a briefing shown live on Facebook.


Here's a clue: if your national security relies upon grounded non-operational fighters, you're probably not very secure.

Another useful tool, apparently.

Slovakia's MiG-29s were retired.
Their KUB defense system has been retired in stages.

They're a NATO member, meaning at no time will their nation be defenseless.

I most certainly hope that these tools become exposed for the Kremlin lackeys that they are.

There was also a recent warning about the Kremlin's push to stir up controversy amongst the public as well as getting puppets into EU governments.

This latest Slovakian thing sure smells like the latter.

MOSCOW, June 23 (Reuters) - Russia said on Sunday that the United States was responsible for a Ukrainian attack on the Russian-annexed Crimean peninsula with five U.S.-supplied missiles that killed at least five people including three children and injured 124 more.
The Russian Defence Ministry said four of the U.S.-delivered Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missiles, equipped with cluster warheads, were shot down by air defence systems and the ammunition of a fifth had detonated in mid-air.

The ministry said U.S. specialists had set the missiles' flight coordinates on the basis of information from U.S. spy satellites, meaning Washington was directly responsible.
"Responsibility for the deliberate missile attack on the civilians of Sevastopol is borne above all by Washington, which supplied these weapons to Ukraine, and by the Kyiv regime, from whose territory this strike was carried out," the ministry said.

The United States began supplying Ukraine with longer range ATACMS missiles, which have a 300-km range, earlier this year.

Reuters was unable to immediately verify battlefield reports from either side.
Television footage on Russian state television showed people running from a beach and some people being carried off on sun loungers.

Russian-installed authorities in Crimea said missile fragments had fallen just after noon near a beach on the north side of the city of Sevastopol where locals were holidaying.

At least 124 were injured, Russian Health Minister Mikhail Murashko said. The injured included 27 children, five of whom are in a serious condition, authorities said.
