"The European Prosecutor's Office has launched an investigation regarding the provision of military materials to Ukraine during the period when Jaroslav Nad was Slovakia's Minister of Defense. The investigation is being conducted on suspicion of criminal acts, including damage to the European Union's financial interests," she noted.

The MP stated that the European Prosecutor's Office is basing its investigation on the findings of Slovakia's Supreme Control Office, which previously analyzed the process of providing military equipment to Ukraine.
