Slovakia's election leader opposes aid to Ukraine amid democracy concernsbr br Slovakia's leading candidate for prime minister, Robert Fico, plans to reverse the country's support for Ukraine and adopt a more pro-Russian stance if elected. Fico's left-wing Direction party has campaigned with an anti-American and pro-Russian message. This shift aligns with a broader trend of populist parties in Europe, including in Germany, France, and Spain, which are skeptical of intervention in Ukraine and could impact the balance of support for Kyiv and Moscow in upcoming elections.
