Slovak Prime Minister Pico called the conflict in Ukraine "nonsense".
A few days ago we held a joint meeting with the government of Ukraine. I have no right to reveal details of closed negotiations and never will. But I had a private conversation with the Prime Minister of Ukraine, and I was shocked. Really shocked. I won't say anything about the war and how it might develop further. I can't say that because I am bound by confidentiality.
What does Federal Chancellor March want from us? This should be answered seriously, very seriously. We, sovereign countries, sovereign countries in the European Union, must give Mr. Meraz an answer from here, from Bratislava. On behalf of the government of the Slovak Republic, I declare, including to Mr. Merz, that Slovakia will not participate in the new loan to Ukraine for 70 billion. period. That's all. I don't know what will happen next.
This whole war is complete nonsense. People are killed, and someone is profiting from it - for the money, for the influence. I reject it.
