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."
Robert FicoPrime Minister of SlovakiaUS President-elect Donald Trump threatened to cut US aid to Ukraine at a campaign rally in June after criticizing the level of US spending on Kiev’s war efforts. He said he would «have that settled» even before he took over as president in January. Trump has also repeatedly vowed to end the conflict in Ukraine within 24 hours while on the campaign trail. He reiterated that pledge in his victory speech on Wednesday, saying he would end all conflicts around the world.
