Slovakia rejects membership in the "Coalition of Will" for Ukraine

The Prime Minister of Slovakia, Robert Fico, rejected reports that his country would be part of the "Coalition of Will" to support Ukraine, stating that Slovakia "has not been, is not, and will not be" a member of this initiative. Fico accused the spread of false information and reiterated the Bratislava government's position regarding limited involvement in military support for Kiev.

The Slovak leader emphasized that his country does not intend to participate in military actions or funding mechanisms aimed at supporting Ukraine's war effort, arguing that the solution to the conflict must be a diplomatic one.

Fico's statements come in the context of divergent positions within the European Union regarding support for Ukraine, with the Slovak prime minister being one of the European leaders who have repeatedly opposed increasing military aid for Kiev.
