Slovak bid to arrest ex-defence minister exposes bitter row over war in Ukraine
Slovak authorities recently attempted to arrest the former Defence Minister, Jan Mojzis, over his alleged role in the diversion of military intelligence to Russia during the war in Ukraine. The incident took place on Thursday in Bratislava, Slovakia.
Mojzis has denied the accusations, claiming they are politically motivated to discredit him. He insists that he always acted in the best interest of Slovakia and its national security. On the other hand, the Slovak government argues that the arrest warrant was issued based on concrete evidence of Mojzis’ involvement in leaking sensitive information.
This development has further exacerbated the already bitter row within Slovakia over the country’s stance on the conflict in Ukraine. Proponents of a more hawkish approach accuse Mojzis of betraying the country’s alliances and putting national security at risk. Meanwhile, Mojzis’ supporters view the arrest warrant as an attempt to silence a dissenting voice that advocates for a more diplomatic solution to the crisis.
The situation has sparked heated debates across political circles in Slovakia, with both sides digging in their heels. The outcome of this standoff remains uncertain as legal proceedings and investigations are ongoing to shed light on the allegations against Mojzis.
The incident underscores the deep divisions within Slovak society regarding the war in Ukraine and the country’s strategic orientation in the face of the ongoing conflict.
