Slovacia protestează după ultimatumul Germaniei privind ajutorul financiar pentru Ucraina. „Șantaj!”, acuză Robert Fico

Slovakia protests against Germany's ultimatum regarding financial aid for Ukraine, accusing Chancellor Merz of blackmail. Merz insists that EU member states must collectively contribute to Ukraine's funding, threatening to block the EU budget if they do not comply. This stance has drawn criticism from Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, who opposes military aid and maintains friendly relations with Russia. The EU is currently negotiating its next seven-year budget, with Germany leveraging its position to pressure reluctant countries like Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, and the Czech Republic to increase their support for Ukraine.
