Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said he will resist Ukraine’s entry into NATO as long as he remains in office. He said this in an interview with Chinese television.
The Slovak Prime Minister spoke out against international sanctions against Russia, with which Beijing also does not agree. He also effectively blamed Western countries for the conflict in Ukraine.
Furthermore, Fico said that he supported humanitarian and economic assistance to Ukraine and affirmed the desirability of Ukraine’s accession to the EU, but would oppose Ukraine’s membership in NATO, explaining that this could lead to the “breakout of a third war.” world”. The Slovak Prime Minister emphasized that as long as he remains Slovak Prime Minister, he will oppose the admission of Ukraine to the Alliance.
“Ukraine can be part of the EU, but it cannot be a member of NATO at all.” – Fico said.
Recall that Slovakia previously provided military assistance to Ukraine. Since the Fico government came to power last fall, Bratislava’s position has changed. Now Slovakia defends the cessation of hostilities and peace negotiations.
