[Slovak Prime Minister: Slovakia Should Not Be Drawn into Military Conflict with Russia] On the 19th local time, Slovak Prime Minister Fico stated that the Russia-Ukraine conflict is not "Slovakia's war," and Slovakia should not be drawn into a direct military conflict between NATO and Russia. Anyone who wants to push for a military conflict between NATO and Russia should bear the corresponding responsibility, rather than shifting the risks to other NATO member states. Fico called for the swift commencement of peace negotiations, as continued escalation of military confrontation could further increase the security and economic risks facing Europe. Fico also stated that a more rational approach should be taken to Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty, the collective defense clause. (CCTV News)
