Ljubljana – President Borut Pahor received in Presidential Palace on Friday people from Ukraine who took refuge from the war in their country in Slovenia. Ukrainian Ambassador Mykhailo Brodovych attended the reception as well, the president’s office said.

Brodovych thanked Slovenia for the hospitality and for the friendly relations with Ukraine, saying that “Slovenia is not a small country, Slovenia has a big heart.”

The Ukrainian guests were also addressed by Pahor, who said that “your homeland was attacked by the Russian aggressor. Without any cause and reason. Brave Ukrainian soldiers and innocent victims are falling in this merciless war.”
