Ex-PM Fico says Slovakia should stop helping Ukraine

In a TV discussion on Sunday, former Prime Minister and opposition leader Roberto Fico urged for an immediate halt to all aid to Ukraine.
“Ukrainians never helped us, Ukraine blatantly lied to us in 2009 when we needed gas, and the government of Julia Tymoshenko did nothing,” said Fico during the TV debate.
When the moderator reminded Fico that “Ukraine is our neighboring nation,” Fico said, “We also have other neighboring countries.”
Fico opposes increasing Russian sanctions, including a restriction on Russian energy imports.
 Fico recently stated that creating a partnership with the far-right Republika movement would be no issue, and likened NATO forces in Slovakia to Nazi troops.
Unlike the government, which supports further financial and military aid to Ukraine, Fico’s party Smer, like most opposition parties, are against assisting Ukraine.
