Slovakia’s Prime Minister Robert Fico said Wednesday that Ukraine won't be invited to join NATO and Russia would not withdraw its troops from the Crimean peninsula or other parts of Ukraine, APA reports citing Republic World.
“Ukraine won’t be invited to NATO. It will lose a third of its territory. There will be foreign military forces there," he said.
Speaking to the Parliamentary Committee for European Affairs on Wednesday, Fico accepted that Russia had violated international law but largely blamed the West for pushing Ukraine "into a bad situation."
