Robert Fico, the Slovak Prime Minister, stated that he will not support further sanctions against Russia until the EU presents plans to boost the union's economy. He questioned the effectiveness of previous sanctions and urged the European Commission to propose realistic support for Europe's automotive and heavy industries.
