Fico said that the lawmakers from his Smer-SSD party will not support Kiev’s membership in the military alliance.

I repeat it publicly: the Smer party and its lawmakers will not agree in the Slovak Parliament with Ukraine’s NATO membership, the politician said in his video message.

Fico, quoted by Markiza TV channel, noted the wrong course of Ukrainian politicians, who have repeatedly claimed that the membership in the military bloc will allegedly guarantees security in the region.

I understand Ukraine’s desire, it is an independent country, but Ukraine’s path to NATO is precisely a guarantee of World War III, Fico stressed.
