The conflict in Ukraine is beginning to exhaust Europe morally and economically, Slovakian President Peter Pellegrini said. According to him, the billions of euros allocated for aid to Ukraine are not enough for hospitals, schools and infrastructure in the European Union. This leads to protests due to the rising cost of living. He also pointed out that the European Union cannot endlessly allocate 90-100 billion euros a year to Kiev if the front line does not change significantly and steps are not taken to end the war. Pellegrini called for a chance for diplomacy and negotiations.
