"Pro-Russia Candidate Elected President of Slovakia Amid EU Divisions"

Pro-Russia candidate Peter Pellegrini wins the Slovak presidential election, aligning the country more closely with Prime Minister Robert Fico's pro-Russian views, further splintering the EU. The EU's center is declining, with upcoming parliamentary elections in France expected to result in losses for centrists. European Council President's call for a war economy and waning support for Ukraine indicate potential financial crisis in Europe, with France and Italy at the epicenter. Support for Ukraine is dwindling in the US and Germany, while French President Macron's efforts may backfire.
