Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said on June 8 that he would block future European Union sanctions against Russia if they harm Slovakia’s national interests after Parliament passed a resolution urging his government not to support any new measures.

“If there is a sanction that would harm us, I will never vote for it,” he told a news conference.
