Special Edition with Foreign Minister of Slovakia Rastislav Káčer

Giselle, Dalibor, and Iulia are joined by distinguished guest and Minister of Foreign and European Affairs of the Slovak Republic, Rastislav Káčer. Minister Káčer joins The Eastern Front to discuss Slovakia's mixed perceptions on the war, Central Europe's engagement with Ukraine, and European unity in rebuking Russia's invasion. He discusses how, although Slovakia is geo-strategically vulnerable to Russia, a poll showed that nearly 20% of Slovaks surveyed supported Russia over Ukraine, highlighting division within Slovakia especially along demographic lines. He also shares praise for Germany and the West's stalwart support for Ukraine and shares his relatively optimistic outlook on the future, despite uncertainty in Europe about future political conditions and the war's trajectory.
