Poland’s neighboring country accuses Russia of interfering in the elections. The ambassador was summoned

Slovakia accused Russia of meddling in the parliamentary elections, which were won by the party of former Prime Minister Robert Fico, and promised, among other things, to suspend military aid to Ukraine.

The Slovak Foreign Ministry summoned Russia’s representative on Monday following the words of Sergei Naryshkin, the head of Russia’s intelligence service, about the elections in Slovakia. He declared that the pro-European ruling party, Progressive Slovakia, is an “ally of the United States.”

“We consider such deliberately spread disinformation as unacceptable interference by the Russian Federation in the electoral process in the Slovak Republic,” the Slovak Foreign Ministry said in a statement, calling on the Russian ambassador to “stop the disinformation activities directed against Slovakia fuses. ”

Commenting on Bratislava’s position on Russian election interference, the official representative of the US State Department, Matthew Miller, said Washington “remains in close contact with our Slovak allies on this issue.” He added that the United States “will continue to cooperate with the government elected by the Slovak people.”

Elections in Slovakia. Victory for Fico’s party

Former Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, whose party Smer (Direction – Social Democracy) won the parliamentary elections, again spoke out on Sunday in favor of working towards a peaceful solution to the conflict in Ukraine. During the election campaign, Fico opposed arms shipments to Ukraine, declared the ineffectiveness of Western sanctions against Russia and threatened to block Ukraine’s accession to NATO.

In accordance with constitutional practice, President Zuzana Caputova on Monday entrusted the mission of forming the government of the election winner. Fico has fourteen days to do this. The politician confirmed that he will run for the position of Prime Minister, and his preferred coalition arrangement is cooperation with the Hlas (Voice) party and SNS nationalists, which will give a majority of 79 votes in the 150-member National Council.
