A populist former prime minister and his leftist party won parliamentary elections in Slovakia, staging a political comeback after campaigning on a pro-Russian and anti-American message, according to almost complete results.

Former Prime Minister Robert Fico and the leftist Smer, or Direction, party led with 22.9%, the Slovak Statistics Office said early Sunday after completing the count of 99.98% of the votes from some 6,000 polling stations.

The election Saturday was a test for the small eastern European country’s support for neighboring Ukraine in its war with Russia, and the win by Fico could strain a fragile unity in the European Union and NATO.

Fico, 59, vowed to withdraw Slovakia’s military support for Ukraine in Russia’s war if his attempt to return to power succeeded.

The country of 5.5 million people created in 1993 following the breakup of Czechoslovakia has been a staunch supporter of Ukraine since Russia invaded last February, donating arms and opening the borders for refugees fleeing the war.

Upon the surface of events as we have witnessed in this currant combat conflict between Russia and Ukraine has as events are showing, to be a non-ending war. For as the West is fueling munitions and weapons non-stop into Ukraine there appears to be a continuation of a war that is between Ukraine and Russia as burning up resources of not just both, but also to European states, The Americans seem to have unlimited resources with respect to their governments stated commitment to Ukraine for some reason.

If perhaps of Mr. Robert Fico is to back up his statements with action, this would lead Ukrainian leadership to a meaningful Diplomatic discussions with their Russian opposites for a resolution to this conflict.

Upon wars end though, will come the question of: Who will pay for the reconstruction cost of repairing combat damaged areas of the country. Or, will the Ukrainians after European States using up valuable resources in military equipment donated for the Ukrainian cause be expected to supply without payment, resources for the rebuilding of war-torn areas of their country.

For the above will be not just a, but the question that will be knocking at our doors in near future.
