Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Jan\u0161a said Ukraine has become the only country in Europe\u2014and possibly the world\u2014capable of fighting what he described as a new type of warfare, highlighting the country’s rapid military transformation during Russia’s full-scale invasion,\u00a0UATV English<\/a>\u00a0reports.<\/p>\n

Speaking after the Ukraine\u2013Southeast Europe Summit in Kyiv, Jan\u0161a said modern warfare has fundamentally changed and that Ukraine has adapted faster than any other nation.<\/p>\n

“We are now facing something new\u2014a new type of war. At the moment, Ukraine is the only country in Europe, and perhaps even in the world, that is prepared for and capable of fighting this kind of war,” Jan\u0161a said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He argued that Russia would only engage in meaningful peace negotiations if Ukraine continued to strengthen while Russia’s position weakened.<\/p>\n

“We all want this war to end. But we know that Russia will be ready for serious negotiations only when Ukraine becomes stronger and Russia becomes weaker. That is the only path I see,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Jan\u0161a acknowledged that Europe had been too slow to provide military assistance at the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion and that initial support had been insufficient. However, he said he now sees reasons for optimism, pointing to Ukraine’s rapid development of its defense industry and military capabilities.<\/p>\n

The Slovenian leader, who previously served as defense minister, said the military assistance packages, contracts and defense agreements concluded in recent months would leave Ukraine much better prepared for the coming winter.<\/p>\n

Recalling Slovenia’s early support for Kyiv, Jan\u0161a noted that he was part of the first foreign delegation to visit the Ukrainian capital just weeks after the full-scale invasion began.<\/p>\n

“At that time, there were doubts that Ukraine would survive,” he said. “Today the situation is completely different. The entire democratic world stands behind Ukraine, and the future is much brighter than it was four years ago.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
