Actually Fico ran on the pledge to stop Slovakian military aid to Ukraine.

“Populist” means far right Russian stooge these days.

"If (Fico’s party) Smer enters government, we will not send a single round of ammunition to Ukraine," (Fico) recently told supporters. (Before the election, which Smer won)

Most of Eastern European politics can be boiled down to "Pro-western elitists vs. pro-russian populists"

So anyone can be behind that assassination attempt, even pro-Russians as a false flag. Poor fucker shouldn't have taken the money
