Bratislava will not be sending any more military aid to Kyiv as political parties that are now in talks to form a new government oppose such assistance.

That’s according to Politico, Ukrinform reports.

“The outgoing bureaucratic government in Slovakia will not send any more military material to Ukraine,” a government spokesman said.

The country’s defense ministry was considering sending a new package of aid.

As reported by Ukrinform, parliamentary elections were held in Slovakia on September 30, won by the populist party Smer-SD (“Course – Social Democracy”). Its leader, Robert Fico, built his campaign on rhetoric that rejected further support for Ukraine.

The new coalition government should be formed by October 16.
