Skopje, 18 May 2023 (MIA) – A new request for additional military aid has arrived from Ukraine, it is classified and currently being reviewed by the General Staff of the Army, said Minister of Defense Slavjanka Petrovska on Thursday, in answer to a journalist’s question.

“I think, last week a new request arrived from Ukraine, of course it is classified and currently being reviewed by the General Staff of the Army in order to assess if we can help and to what degree, and if we get a positive opinion of course we will appropriately inform the public. Of course, as long as there is a need for North Macedonia’s aid, we are open to provide it,” said the Defense Minister.

Petrovska reiterated that the request is classified, adding that all previously adopted decisions have been declassified and are available to the public.

“What we have delivered so far and the decisions we made, have been declassified, and I think they are published on the Ministry’s website, except for the quantities. However, the type of equipment that we have donated is publicly available,” said Defense Minister Petrovska.
