Slovak Prime Minister Urges Parliamentary Vote Against Sending Troops to Ukraine

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico strongly rejected European interference in the Donbass conflict Sunday, urging Slovakia’s congress to pass a resolution against the sending of troops to Ukraine.

“Some European politicians talk about the need to directly participate in the war in Ukraine against Russia with such intensity that I am beginning to take it as a reality,” said the leader in a video posted on social media. “And that's why I would consider it right if the National Council takes a decision as quickly as possible that it does not agree with such a military adventure.”
