Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has sparked controversy by stating that Slovakia will not send troops to NATO in the event of a direct conflict with Russia, even if Article 5 is invoked. He emphasized the seriousness of the current military tensions in Europe and expressed his commitment to keeping Slovakia out of armed conflict. Fico criticized the military rhetoric in Europe and the implications of the ongoing war in Ukraine, suggesting that arms manufacturers are benefiting from the situation. His statements have drawn criticism from Slovak media and reactions from Czech officials, who view his position as undermining Slovakia's commitment to NATO.
