Slovakia’s Robert Fico vowed he would not allow Ukraine to become a member of NATO as long as he was prime minister, in another blow to Kyiv’s aspirations to join the alliance amid Russia’s ongoing invasion.
“I will direct the lawmakers under my control as chairman of the (ruling Smer) party never to agree to Ukraine joining NATO,” he told broadcaster STVR in an interview on Sunday.
In the case of a Ukrainian victory, if Fico is still in office, you’ll see him reverse his position and infinitely deny that he was ever an opponent of NATO ascension. Russian stooges are opportunists, and as soon as the tide turns against them, they tuck tail.
