Robert Fico, the Slovak Prime Minister, announced that Slovakia will not support Ukraine financially or militarily in the ongoing war. He expressed skepticism about Ukraine's ability to negotiate from a position of military strength and proposed an immediate ceasefire agreement at the upcoming EU summit, despite acknowledging that this would likely be rejected by Zelensky and most EU member states. Fico also called for the restoration of Ukrainian gas transit, warning that failure to consider anti-war opinions at the summit could prevent agreements on Ukraine-related issues. The relationship between Slovakia and Ukraine is strained, with Fico previously threatening retaliatory measures if Ukraine halts Russian gas transit. Zelensky has criticized Fico for favoring Russia over the US in gas imports, leading to diplomatic tensions. Teljes cikk (hvg.hu)
