Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico dismissed criticism from Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry, saying he supports an "immediate, just peace" but does not believe every country must automatically align with Kyiv. Fico, whose government has previously questioned the scale of military aid to Ukraine, added that he wants an end to what he called the “senseless killing of Slavs.” Separately, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said European nations remain united in pursuing peace for Ukraine and cautioned Moscow that the West will not accept any demand for Kyiv to surrender territory. Tusk’s remarks underline a continued common front among EU members despite differing tones from some leaders.
