Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Jansa announced on Sunday that his country will send several diplomats back to Ukraine's capital, Kiev, and urged other members of the European Union to do the same.
“Slovenia will soon send its diplomats back to Kiev. They're volunteers. We are working for the Union to do the same - Ukraine needs diplomatic support,” the Slovenian Prime Minister wrote on Twitter.
The team that will be back in the Ukrainian capital will consist of diplomats who volunteer to go. “Ukraine also needs direct diplomatic support to end aggression and peace as soon as possible,” Jansa explained.
The Slovenian ambassador to Kiev withdrew with the rest of the Kiev personnel during the Russian attack on Ukraine, so the embassy premises are currently empty, as reported by 'Slovenske Novice'.
In an interview with Slovenian broadcasting this week, Jansa explained that “many top diplomats” from many countries had left Ukraine days before the invasion began, which he said made Ukrainians feel “alone and abandoned in the country.”
Likewise, the Slovenian Prime Minister has said that the first proposal after his trip to Kiev last week together with the Prime Ministers of Poland and the Czech Republic was to send back the Union's diplomat representative in Kiev. In addition, he assured that at this time “only” the ambassadors of Poland and the Vatican are currently in the Ukrainian capital.
On the other hand, US President Joe Biden will travel to Poland on Friday to talk to his partner Andrzej Duda about the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the White House said on Sunday.
“The president will discuss how the United States responds together with our allies and partners to the humanitarian and human rights crisis that Russia's unjustified and unprovoked war against Ukraine has created,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in a statement.
The visit to Poland will follow a stopover in Belgium to meet with the leaders of NATO, the G7 and the European Union (EU).
“The trip will focus on continuing to bring the world together to support the Ukrainian people and against President (Vladimir) Putin's invasion of Ukraine,” Psaki added.
“But there are no plans to travel to Ukraine,” he clarified.
Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki traveled last week with his Czech and Slovenian counterparts to Kiev, the besieged Ukrainian capital, to reaffirm the EU's “unequivocal support”.
