From EuroNews:
“Slovakia announces the end of military aid to Ukraine”
Slovakia has until now been a staunch supporter of Kyiv since
Russia invaded in February last year, donating arms and opening its borders for
refugees fleeing the war. Slovakia has announced the end of military aid to
Ukraine. A country of 5.5 million people which shares a border with Ukraine,
Slovakia has until now been a staunch supporter of Kyiv since Russia invaded in
February last year, donating arms and opening its borders for refugees fleeing
the war.
Slovakia’s president swore in a new government Wednesday, led
by a former populist prime minister Robert Fico. There are concerns the victory of Fico's Smer,
or Direction, Party in September's election could mark a dramatic turnaround in
the country’s foreign policy and strain a fragile unity in the European Union
and NATO. He opposes EU sanctions on
Russia, questions whether Ukraine can force out the invading Russian troops and
wants to block Ukraine from joining NATO.
^ This is completely the wrong move for Slovakia to make.
Maybe Fico and Slovakia are forgetting that Soviet/Russian Troops occupied
Slovakia (then Czechoslovakia) from 1945-1991 including launching a deadly
Invasion in 1968.
Although Fico was a Member of the Communist Party from
1986-1990 so maybe he is more in love with Russia and lost causes than with Ukraine
and Freedom.
Ukraine needs and deserves more – especially from its Neighboring
Border Countries like Slovakia. ^
