Slovakia claims ex-government jet donation to Ukraine was illegal
Briefly

These two gentlemen have been able to disarm Slovakia better than any enemy would, Melicher said at a press conference, referring to the former Prime Minister and Minister of Defence. I am convinced that Jaroslav Naď betrayed Slovakia, his homeland.
The current government claims that the previous leadership did not have a constitutional mandate to send the jets to Ukraine, as it had been defeated in a no-confidence motion before the decision. The dispute centers on 13 MiG29 fighter jets donated to Ukraine before Slovakia's last election.
The transfer of fighter jets to Ukraine took place without parliamentary approval, with the current government alleging that the legal advice justifying the action was either not commissioned or insufficient. Melicher believes a lack of countersignature on documents he retrieved is evidence of wrongdoing.
The criminal complaint against the former Prime Minister and Minister of Defence in Slovakia is based on the argument that the decision to donate MiG29 fighter jets to Ukraine was illegal, as it lacked parliamentary approval and proper mandates.
