Slovakia's Robert Fico eyes comeback in Saturday's election

Slovaks vote this weekend in early elections following the collapse of the former centre-right government.

Leading most polls is the populist SMER party of Robert Fico, who has pledged an immediate end to Slovak military support for Ukraine.

Fico was forced to step down as prime minister following the murder of investigative journalist Jan Kuciak in 2018.

"If SMER enters government, we will not send a single round of ammunition to Ukraine," he recently told supporters.
