Slovakia Rejects Full EU Financial Role in Ukraine Amid US Aid Cut Concerns
00:47 GMT 08.11.2024 (Updated: 06:49 GMT 08.11.2024) BRATISLAVA, November 8 (Sputnik) - Slovakia opposes the idea of the EU taking full financial responsibility for military aid for Ukraine if the US stops funding it, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has said.
Fico made this statement on Thursday following the
summit of the European political community. He also added that Slovakia will turn down any such initiative by European countries.
"Today, whether we wanted it or not, the topic of the US presidential election dominated the agenda. Representatives of some countries expressed their fear about what would happen if the incoming US administration would, for example, decrease its support for Ukraine or suspend it whatsoever. Some representatives of EU states say that in that event, the union must take full financial responsibility for Ukraine. I consider it impossible."
