Slovakia’s Prime Minister Robert Fico Refuses to Fund Ukraine, Declares No More Financial or Military Aid

Slovakia’s Prime Minister Robert Fico has officially declared that his country will no longer be a cash cow or arms dealer for Ukraine’s endless war.

Taking to X on Saturday, Fico laid out a scathing rebuke of the West’s obsession with funneling money and weapons into a conflict he says is going nowhere fast.

“Slovakia will not support Ukraine either financially or militarily to enable it to continue the war,” he said in a statement, adding that while other nations can waste their resources if they please, Slovakia’s done playing along.

This announcement makes Slovakia one of the first European nations to publicly break from the EU’s dogmatic pro-Ukraine stance.

While globalist leaders continue to pump billions into the war, Fico’s government is calling for an immediate ceasefire—something Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and many EU leaders stubbornly reject.

Fico also slammed the West’s so-called “peace through strength” strategy, calling it an illusion designed to perpetuate the conflict rather than resolve it.

“Slovakia has reservations about the unrealistic strategy of “peace through strength,” which is only intended to serve as a justification for continuing the war in Ukraine. Ukraine will never be strong enough to negotiate from a position of military power,” he added.

Rather than blindly following the EU’s war-first approach, Slovakia is advocating for immediate peace talks and a halt to the flow of European taxpayers’ money into what Fico sees as an unwinnable war.

Perhaps one of the most striking aspects of Fico’s statement is his demand for the EU to restore the transit of Russian gas through Ukraine to Slovakia and the rest of Western Europe.
