YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Polls in the central European country tip former prime minister Robert Fico to come in first - he says he'll stop sending arms and ammunition to Ukraine. And his critics have slammed him as 'pro-Russian'.

People have been casting their ballots following an election campaign that's resulted in a neck-and-neck race between a former leftist prime minister and pro-Western liberals. Both sides have about 20 percent support, and would require coalition partners to form a government.

Former prime minister Robert Fico has campaigned on a populist platform, calling for an end to Slovakia's robust military support for Ukraine... and for closer ties to Moscow.
