Slovak PM Opposes Ukraine's NATO Membership and Questions Sovereignty

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico stated that Ukraine is not a sovereign nation and is under the control of the United States, opposing its NATO membership and military aid. He accused Ukraine of being corrupt and suggested a compromise involving territorial concessions. Fico's stance aligns with Slovakia's pro-Russian sentiment, as highlighted in a 2023 report, and reflects a broader division within the European Union regarding support for Ukraine.
