Prime Minister Robert Fico (Smer-SD) discussed assistance related to Ukraine’s military spending in a phone call with President of the European Council António Costa on Friday.
On social media, Fico stated that he would not support any measure leading to military aid for Ukraine. “I told António Costa that I will not support anything—even if we were to sit in Brussels until the New Year—that would result in support for Ukraine’s military spending,” he said. Fico added that, as Prime Minister of the Slovak Republic, he is prepared to support Ukraine’s reconstruction through bilateral negotiations between the Slovak and Ukrainian governments, but rejects what he described as “senseless killing.” He also said that he conveyed the same position in a letter sent to the President of the European Council and to all prime ministers of EU member states.
