The continuation of this policy after the parliamentary elections scheduled for 30 September is uncertain, given the position of the opposition party, Direction–Slovak Social Democracy (Smer-SSD), which is leading in almost all this year’s polls. Specifically, the party announced the suspension of military and political support for Ukraine. This is in line with the proRussian sympathies of a large part of society. The possible co-creation of a government by this party would be a challenge for Poland and would further weaken the Central European voice on security and eastern issues.}, title={Slovaks’ Perception of the War in Ukraine is Changing — a Socio-Political Perspective}, type={file}, keywords={Słowacja, Ukraina, wybory/głosowanie, zagraniczna pomoc wojskowa, stosunki międzynarodowe}, }
