Slovakia will not help Ukraine either financially or militarily - Fico
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said that his country would not provide military and financial assistance to Ukraine "to continue the war."
He announced this on Facebook, Censor.NET reports.
"If I, as one of the highest constitutional officials, am expected to react to the events in the White House, I will repeat the main points of my yesterday's speech," Fico said, adding that when he formulated them, he "was not influenced by the artistic impression of the meeting that excited everyone so much."
"The Slovak Republic will not support Ukraine either financially or militarily to continue the war. If others do so, we will respect that," he added.
Fico believes the "peace through strength" strategy is unrealistic, as "Ukraine will never be that strong."
He also said that Slovakia will propose an immediate ceasefire at the EU leaders' summit next week (March 6), regardless of when a final peace agreement is reached.
