Slovakia will not agree to using frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine, Prime Minister Robert Fico said on Saturday.

“Slovakia won’t take part in any legal or financial schemes to seize frozen assets if those funds would be spent on military costs in Ukraine,” Fico said in an interview with public broadcaster STVR.
