Slovak PM Fico Addresses Nation After Surviving Assassination Attempt

Slovakia's Prime Minister Robert Fico, who opposes military aid to Ukraine and EU sanctions on Russia, delivered his first speech since surviving an assassination attempt. Fico, who was shot three weeks ago, believes he was targeted for his pro-Russian stance, which contrasts with the European mainstream. Despite his injuries, he expressed no malice towards his attacker and plans to return to work in a month. Fico's government has faced criticism for its policies, which opponents fear could lead Slovakia towards autocracy.
