A "healthy dose of good, old-fashioned capitalism".
What's Slovakia's Fico up to over Ukraine?

"Anyone claiming to know where Robert Fico's government will lead Slovakia is being, to put it mildly, rather audacious," writes Mikulas Dzurinda on EU Observer. "What we do know is that he leans towards Russia in its conflict with Ukraine." The left-wing populist has repeatedly claimed that "Russia's war against Ukraine is not our war, and that Slovakia would not send a single bullet to Ukraine".
