Slovakian PM Fico to Veto Ukraine's NATO Membership

Fico suggests Ukraine must cede territory to Russia, sparking controversy within NATO.

Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico has vowed to veto Ukraine's bid for NATO membership, citing concerns that it could ignite a global conflict.
Fico believes Ukraine is under significant influence and control of the United States, and labels it as one of the most corrupt nations worldwide.
The Slovakian PM is scheduled to meet with Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal in Kiev, where he is expected to articulate his objections.
Fico suggests that the only way to end Russia's war against Ukraine is for Kyiv to cede some of its territory to the invaders.
Fico's stance has sparked controversy and illustrates a lack of unity within the NATO alliance regarding Ukraine's membership.
