- Robert Fico - whose party appears tied for the lead in Slovakia’s election Saturday - says he would end military support for Ukraine. As Henry Ridgwell reports, Ukraine’s Western allies fear a Fico victory could prompt other countries to question their support for Kyiv following Russia’s invasion.#ukraine #slovakia #news #voanews

Imagine being a democracy and then judging another’s democracy. Nature is truly a beautiful thing.
Imagine thinking the US is a democracy.
@@crobnsonI'm sure Fico is
Imagine being on the Nazi Ukraine side lmao 🤣
This American is on Russia side
@@sixmillionsilencedaccounts3517 Impossible.
Good to see people waking up around the globe, maybe world can yet survive...
this guy is our worst nightmare…..I prefer ukraine to get my money then him and his pals
@@PiratesLifeOfM First , if that guy is your biggest nightmare then I genuinely feel sorry for you, second, no one is stopping you to send "your money" to Ukraine , cut a check and donate if being a warmongering cheerleading is your calling in life , for those of us who are anti war and do not wish for whole world to get entangled in a WW3 , this is a good thing .
@@levanmikadze4748 nope, I don’t support the “donations” to ukraine, I just say that compared to what this dude is doing, it’s the better of two evils. He was our PM already 3 times before, and he brought the country to its knees, he and his mafia pals stole everything, sold the rest to his friends, and if someone tried to stand up to him, they would meet a quick end, as in 2017 a youg journalist and his girlfriend got shot in their home for getting to close to Fico and his mafia buddies. And as for me, I packed my stuff long time ago and left for another country, so basically, I don’t care anymore, I will most likely never come back home again, but also, there are people like my friemds and family, who still live there and they have to go through a pretty harsh lives because of these few greedy bastards sitting in that ugly building under the Bratislava castle
Thank you Europe, Americans dont want this War and were doing our best to stop
Yes! We've given enough to Ukraine
Americans has created this war...
Voice of America very misleading channel name...
Good to see Slovakia waking up👍🏻
Please keep out of politics that don't concern your country and you know nothing about. You're blind to assume they've "woken up". The only reason Fico wanted to get into office was to start stealing money from the people again, as he's done for 12 years. Keep in mind that he was one of the co-conspirators that ordered the death of Jan Kuciak, who was a journalist on the brink of exposing the entire government of "liberating" peoples money and their connection to the 'Ndrangheta. Fico is just another cocksucker in a suit saying anything to get him back into power (also getting all of the retiree's votes by raising pensions, and promising tons of things whilst not keeping his word, like the highway from Bratislava to Košice that was meant to be built 20 years ago but guess where that money went?).
Now that he's been elected, there's no saving Slovakia anymore. It'll be worse than Romanian ghettos when he's done raping it.
wtf ? this guy is the worst nightmare, he ruined our whole country…even before covid and ukraine was a thing, he brought the whole country to its knees
@@crobnson you go and fight for Ukraine right now, but you won't go, you just want the poor to fight and die in a war!
Congrats to Slovakia for breaking free of the US of Zog.
bruuhh….we’re doomed with this guy as our leader…again
@@PiratesLifeOfM…I only hope it’s not only an illusion of controlled opposition.
I think countries have just about had enough of sending billions in aid to Ukraine, and it's about time.
I think you don't get it. Ukranians are fighting for their freedom. Freedom isn't for granted.
And the enemy has to be defeated, that's our common goal!

This is a bot.
@@user-ih1gs2kx3yHasn't this happened already? Did you care about Iraq, Palestine as much as you care about Ukraine? I don't think so, then We can all give a fck about Ukraine too.
@@user-ih1gs2kx3ythey are dying for Western warmongers and Black Rock company. There are nothing about freedom, please educate yourself and explore how ukraine is a dicatorship and hunta towards their citizens
Another nail in the coffin of Western Fascism.
good way to get people to hate our country more
😃👍👏❤ super občania rozhodli čo chcú !!!
He is clever like Orban & the Serbian president!
Slava Mother Russia from SA!
Слава брате 👍
Slava from Moscow to you my brother!
These two clowns work for Moscow money.
Slovakia doesn't need "Bad BOY" corrupt country on his border and wish that Russia will be a new and greater neighbor. What a great future for Slovakia. Slava New Neighbor! Just surrender brother to your oldest brother and you don't have any problems anymore! Brother. 😮
Only the dumbest uneducated people wish for that! Others know that it would ruin our economy even more than this war.
Moron.
@@user-ih1gs2kx3yzelensky is
You are not in the power position to tell somebody to surrender. All you can do is to go and surrender by yourself.
I absolutely agree we should force Ukraine to accept a compromise with Russia and stop sending money and weapons. Im tired of this bull### We are getting poor in Europe because of them.
Thank you for the truth
Oh no! A populist with independent thinking! A disaster.
Billions of taxpayers dollars and Ukraine hasn't gained an inch. Infact Russia has gained an additional 200 miles west of Crimea. Pathetic
Slightly incorrect. Nancy ? is that a boy's name in Russia ?
You do what you want Slovakia don’t be bullied by the US
pro-Slovakia candidate wins pro-USA candidate. 💪🏻
in what logic is not giving ammo to ukraine pro russian?
Some people are morons on purpose. This guy is a natural.

NATO bot.
It is not up to Germans or Anglo-Saxons to decide who will govern in Slovakia, .. Slovak Citizens have already decided that, not Germans or Anglo-Saxons. Mind your own polititians , not ours, pressuring people in one direction will always bring overtime opposite reaction. Remember Newton's third law of Motion? states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Slovakia will pressure war parties to start peace negotiations ASAP instead of another 10 years of bloodshed. Which is better ?? peace or waaaaar ?? There can not be war between Slavic countries for we are brothers.
Just wait until Slovakia needs help from dictatorship.
you go and fight for Ukraine right now, but you won't go, you just want the poor to fight and die in a war!
Good job Slovakia start buying cheap Russian gas again for your people stay neutral and reek in the benefits use the east and west for your gain
👏👏👏👏 respect from Jamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲 Putin❤
Im sure oligarch Zelensky got plenty of cash
Well he has a point...the war has to end before it gets bigger and involves the whole continent.. zelensky is not going to win and must except Crimea is gone!!.🙏❤️🇺🇲
You fools.. it’s the U.S. who sponsored the Nazis to harm the USSR.
The U.S. is doing it again, using Ukraine and NATO as a human shield to harm today’s Russia.
You're such a stupid person, Russia is extremely weak and corrupt, they always talk about invading NATO and yet they couldn't defeat Ukraine in the beginning days even without weapons from the west. Russia will carry on influencing dumb people like you to move public opinion away from the war. I hope Russia collapses into different states. Or at least has coup and installs a Liberal democratic government.

The Mongols defeated Ukraine before
Aoa medical students are making request to you and your channel to raise a hoty issue of Medical fee structures of Private Medical Colleges of Pakistan especially of Punjab.MBBS fee of private Medical colleges has reached up to 1.40crore Horrible Horrible Horrible. Stop this. Stop this. Honourable Chief Justice of Pakistan and Honourable Chief of Army Staff are requested to take severe action on it. Education is the basic fundamental right of each student of Pakistan. Do not deprive the students by putting nonafordable fee structures.Somebody or authority will have to put full stop on these illegal money grabbing.Students and parents are requesting to Govt to call the authority who has given free hand permission to increase MBBS fees.Chairman PMDC /PMC are also responsible for these nonafordable fees.
*How* does he imagine to *force* peace?
Anyone likes peace, but if there is just one who likes war more, wtf is there to do?
What wont work is putting your head in the sand. It is emberassing that the eastern members of EU/NATO are the first to fold after crying the loudest. First poland and if that dude wins slovakia next. Then again maybe it is less about that, but more about nationalism, where everyone is closest to themselves.
Slovakia: an unheard of tiny land, east of the Iron Curtain
Unheard but highly intelligent!!! Good job!!!
@@gloryshadow8710 Ano, spravny krok to bol. S tymi arogantnymi a povyseneckymi cechmi na socialnych sietach by som nechcel byt v jednom state
Lots of gun owners know of Slovakia, and appreciate the quality they put into many of the firearms they import to the US. Most of the US hasn't supported this war or funding for it from the start! The UN should not still exist, it has no purpose anymore than to propagate new wars.
Putin the great long live to russia just jump of the EU sinking ship it won't last longer
I'm afraid ww3 is coming soon, Please save the earth
Bruh be quiet you're like 12 years old.
Don’t worry Joe Biden will send his supporters
Wow Slovakia wants to return to Stalinism? Who would have thought.
Stalin saved Europe last century...who want Third reich lead by descendants of nazis like Leyen or Nuland?!
Glory to Ukraine as part of Russia 🇷🇺
You're really fucked up, orcs are first raping and torturing and killing, and then being friends 3ith the ruzzians!?
ukraine is RUSSIA!😊
Putinov klaun
It should be point out that Slovakia is very poor GDP 116 Billion and without the economic support of the EU would collapse. They never supplied anything other than a token amount of arms to the Ukraine. Their membership of both NATO and the EU should now be in question.
At least they're not in the negative.
They gave more then a token you idiot
Shame on Slovakia.
for what?
shame yourself nazi apologyst.
Why?
Hanba každému ,kto podporuje vojnu na Ukrajine ! Hanba všetkým ktorý podporujú vrazdenie nevinných ľudí ,len preto že sú prorusky orientovaný! Hanba tým ktorý podporujú nacizmus a terorizmus prezidenta Ukrajiny !!
Glory to Slovakia!
Throw Slovakia out of NATO and Europe or stop finansiel support if the country sides with fascist Russia and continue to be as corrupt as it is.
.
Just look at your comment... So you think you have a God given right to throw a European country out of Europe? Or starve a nation into submission if they vote for a candidate you don't approve of? And you call Russia a "fascist" country when you support REAL NAZIS in Ukraine, the most corrupt country in Europe? You stink of hypocrisy.
Szavaz az igazságos Ficora aki nem háború párti jobb életet hozhat !!!
