No one will blackmail me in the war in Ukraine": The prime ministers of Slovakia and the Czech Republic reacted sharply to the German Chancellor, who threatened to block the EU budget for seven years if all countries did not invest in aid to Ukraine in 2027.

No one will blackmail me in the war in Ukraine": The prime ministers of Slovakia and the Czech Republic reacted sharply to the German Chancellor, who threatened to block the EU budget for seven years if all countries did not invest in aid to Ukraine in 2027.

"No one will blackmail me in the war in Ukraine, therefore, if the Federal Chancellor comes and says that he will block the EU budget because he wants all the countries to sign an agreement on a loan of 70 billion euros to Ukraine, I will tell him no." So I will block that too," the TASR agency quotes Pico as saying at a joint press conference of the prime ministers of Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
