TL;DR

Peter Pellegrini, a nationalist-left government candidate, won Slovakia's presidential election, strengthening the pro-Russian Prime Minister Robert Fico's position. Pellegrini's victory is seen as a boost for Fico's government, which has faced criticism for blunting the rule of law. His opponent, pro-Western candidate Ivan Korcok, conceded defeat and accused Pellegrini of spreading fear to win the election. Pellegrini's win could impact Slovakia's foreign policy, particularly regarding its stance on Ukraine and Russia.
