The Debate – Should Ukraine worry? Pro-Russia Fico wins Slovakia elections
Issued on:
As if nightly Russian missile strikes were not enough, Kyiv started the week with more in its Monday morning in tray. First with neighboring Slovakia, where the pro-Russia Robert Fico finished tops in a weekend general election, leaving people to wonder what kind of a coalition will the anti-West left-wing populist form?
Then there’s the Capitol Hill compromise that prevents a U.S. government shutdown at the cost of suspending new funding for Ukraine.
What will be their impact on Ukraine? And what’s Europe’s plan if a small but determined bloc of far-right isolationists in Washington can ride the wave of a return to power of Donald Trump in 2024?

But can Ukraine count on NATO and Europe for what lies ahead?
