  Fico was hit "multiple times," and his condition is "life-threatening," the prime minister's office announced on Facebook. He is currently being airlifted from Handlova to a hospital in Banska Bystrica as flying him to Bratislava would take too long, Fico's office added. "The next few hours will decide" whether he survives, the statement concluded.

Whose Toes Has Slovakia's Wildcard PM Fico Stepped On?

• Fico earned NATO's ire after vowing to block the delivery of weapons to Ukraine during his latest run for office. Fico has also expressed dissatisfaction with Bratislava's defense pact with Washington, promising to review it.
• Fico has expressed fervent opposition to Ukraine's membership in NATO, and said he believes Russia began its military operation as a result of neo-Nazis running rampant in Ukraine.
• Fico has warned that Western military assistance to Ukraine will only prolong the crisis and increase the number of victims, and has accused foreign forces of meddling in the conflict, which "could have been extinguished at the very beginning."
• Fico believes anti-Russian sanctions have "negatively affected" the lives of ordinary Slovaks.
• Fico has been bashed by European legacy media as a left-wing populist analogue of Hungarian right-wing populist Viktor Orban, with outlets pulling out all the stops to accuse him of "democratic backsliding" and "flouting European norms," including over his push to reform the criminal code.
• The Slovak PM has also made enemies with powerful European political and business interests, promising to launch an independent inquiry into the EU's authoritarian pandemic-era policies.

Earlier, the government of Slovakia decided to focus on humanitarian aid and no longer send weapons to Ukraine. The Cabinet led by Robert Fico did not approve the proposal of the previous government, which concerned sending another package of military aid to Ukraine worth 40.3 million euros. It mainly involved ammunition. This package of military aid was supposed to be the 14th from Slovakia; since February 2022, the republic has sent weapons, ammunition, and equipment to Ukraine worth 671 million euros.
