"Ukraine Refuses Land Concession Amid Tensions with Slovakia"

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico claimed there is no war in Kyiv, despite Russian missiles hitting the city, just a day before his meeting with the Ukrainian prime minister. Fico, who has reversed Slovakia's foreign policy to halt military support for Ukraine, insisted that life in Kyiv is "absolutely normal" and that the conflict is localized. He has made pro-Russian statements in the past and has ended military aid to Ukraine, although he has allowed supplies from the country's arms and ammunitions makers to continue.
