A Putin-sympathizing candidate for prime minister is neck and neck with his rival progressive party in Slovakia's general election, which will take place on Saturday. Slovakia has been a staunch supporter of Ukraine since Russia's full-scale invasion began, and has sent it air defense systems and MiG jets. Robert Fico — who served two prior periods as Slovakia's prime minister, from 2006 to 2010 and 2012 to 2018 — is a fierce critic of Ukraine and the EU's anti-Russian position on the war, and has vowed not to send arms to its eastern neighbor. A win for the populist leader could also fracture the EU's efforts at a unified front against Russia.
