#33: Ukraine and Slovakia
The Ukraine-Slovakia border, drawn post-WWII and spanning a mere 60 miles, holds the Uzhorod International Airport in a unique position, merely 436 feet from Slovakia. Its proximity to a NATO member renders it Ukraine’s most untouchable airport amid conflict.
The proximity of the critical border fosters a robust bond between Slovakia and Ukraine. During these challenging times, Slovakia has become a sanctuary for many Ukrainians, underscoring the deep relationship forged by their shared geography.
