Slovakia on Saturday announced that it will stop military and financial aid to Ukraine.

“Slovakia will not support Ukraine either financially or militarily to enable it to continue the war. If others choose to do so, we will respect that,” Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said in an open letter on X.

Orbán and Fico look to derail European unity on Ukraine ahead of London summit, calling for direct talks with Russia and energy concessions, pushing a stance that could weaken EU support for Kyiv and legitimise Russian gains.

Fico also demanded that any future EU summit conclusions include a requirement for Ukraine to restore Russian gas transit to Slovakia and Western Europe — effectively pushing for the resumption of European dependence on Moscow’s energy exports.
