Slovakia–Ukraine relations are the foreign relations between Slovakia and Ukraine. Both countries established diplomatic relations on January 1, 1993. Slovakia has an embassy in Kyiv, a general consulate in Uzhhorod, and two honorary consulates (in Donetsk and Uzhhorod). Ukraine has an embassy in Bratislava and a general consulate in Prešov.
During the Interwar era the Ukrainian oblastZakarpattia was part of Czechoslovakia, before being ceded to Hungary.[1] In 1993, during an official visit to Ukraine, the first president of independent Slovakia Michal Kováč signed an agreement on establishing constructive relations between the two countries. Multiple visits have subsequently been made from Slovakia to Ukraine from 2000 to present. In March 2022, the Slovak embassy in Kyiv temporarily suspended its work due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The embassy resumed its work on April 12, 2022.[2]
Ukraine's Uzhhorod Airport is located near the Slovak-Ukraine border, requiring the potential use of Slovak airspace by planes landing or taking off at the airport.[4]
