Former Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico stated that if his party wins, Slovakia will not send “a single bullet” to Ukraine ;.
On Saturday, September 30, parliamentary elections were held in Slovakia, which may affect support for Ukraine from the neighboring state, which is a member of the European Union and NATO.
According to the exit poll results released by TV Markíza, the pro-European party received the most votes “Progressive Slovakia” (23.5%) and pro-Russian politician Robert Fico's populist party “Smer” (21.9%).
The gap between the election winners is so small that it cannot guarantee which party will win celebrate the victory after the official counting of votes, which has just begun.
If the first exit poll turns out to be accurate, then the coalition in parliament will be formed by “Progressive Slovakia”, led by its leader, 39-year-old member of the European Parliament Michal Šimečko.
If not, then under the chairmanship of Robert Fico, Slovakia can become its own a kind of “Trojan horse” of Russia in the EU and NATO, keeping company with the pro-Russian government of neighboring Hungary.
Robert Fico's election rhetoric indicates that if he is able to form a government, he will move to the pro-Russian camp.
During the election campaign, the country's ex-prime minister promised that his country would not send “even a patron to Ukraine” if he returned to the post of head of government.
Fico resigned as prime minister in 2018 after the murder of a journalist, which caused mass protests in the country.
Recall that earlier Slovak President Zuzana Caputova said that she fears pro-Russian revenge in the country and warned of a threat to Ukraine.
