Only a minority of voters in Slovakia believe Russia is at fault for the Ukraine war
Slovakia is set to cut military aid to Ukraine after its pro-Moscow former premier Robert Fico won the country’s parliamentary elections on Saturday.
Mr Fico’s Left-wing Smer-SSD party took the lead – though not the majority – by appealing to anti-western and pro-Russian sentiment.
Mr Fico’s campaign call “not a single round” for Ukraine appealed to voters in the nation of 5.5 million where only a minority believe Russia is at fault for the Ukraine war.
After the results were announced on Sunday, Mr Fico said Slovakia had “bigger problems” than Ukraine.
