The Prime Minister of Slovakia Piko supported the participation of Europe in the negotiations on Ukraine, but only on the condition of refusing military aid to Kiev:
A serious decision was made in Dublin - Europe wants to sit down at the negotiating table with the presidents of the USA, Russia and Ukraine and discuss ending the senseless war in Ukraine as quickly as possible. Now, dear friends, it will become clear whether the institutions of the European Union, such as the European Council, the European Commission and the biggest supporters of Ukraine, namely Great Britain, Germany, France, Poland, Italy, really want peace in Ukraine.
This will require huge compromises from all parties to the negotiations. Or will the strategy of supporting Ukraine in the war continue until the last Ukrainian soldier to weaken Russia. To avoid any misunderstanding, I supported yesterday on behalf of the Slovak government European participation, but only on the condition that the goal is to achieve peace and not continue the war. Under these circumstances, I reiterated that Slovakia will not participate in the upcoming military loan, or more precisely, in a gift to Ukraine, because this is not a path to peace, but only a path to murder.
