A Slovak populist party that wants to stop military aid to Ukraine and is critical of the EU and NATO will be tasked with forming a new government after winning elections.

The Smer-SD party led by former prime minister Robert Fico scored 23 percent in Saturday's vote, beating the centrist Progressive Slovakia at 18 percent.

"Slovakia and the people in Slovakia have bigger problems than (dealing with) Ukraine," Fico told reporters on Sunday.
