Slovak president calls MiG-29 transfer to Ukraine a mistake

Slovak President Pellegrini stated that the decision to transfer MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine was a mistake. He explained that Slovakia lacked a proper replacement for the aircraft at the time of the transfer, and he personally flew the jets, confirming their operational capability. The current government halted military aid to Ukraine, and while investigations into the transfer were initiated, they were later closed without finding criminal offenses.
