  1. As to the PM of Slovakia Robert Fico mentioned at 20:00, my Slovak friends (I'm Czech and we have joint Czech and Slovak discussion groups on Ukraine) generally think he won't sign any new defence contracts with Ukraine but the existing ones will continue. Slovakia is manufacturing "Zuzana" type howitzers and ammunition for Ukraine. There already are Slovak workers working on them and they wouldn't be happy if the new PM took their jobs from them. Fico is a populist, the last things he needs are jobs lost and less money for Slovakia.
