The assistance between Slovenia and Ukraine is mutual, as Slovenia has provided Ukraine with humanitarian, financial and military aid since the beginning of the Russian invasion in February 2022.

"I have said many times that we greatly appreciate the support we received from Slovenia. That is why, as soon as we received information about what happened in your country, the Foreign Minister reported [this information] to the President, and he approved the decision to provide assistance to Slovenia," Andrii Taran, the Ukrainian ambassador to Slovenia, said.
