gunned down in a bloody attackIt comes after the PM went through a reported three hours worth of urgent surgery after his injuries were labelled as "extraordinarily serious" when he entered hospital.
The pro-Russian PM had come outside to meet with supporters as she shook hands with those being the barriers as he was attacked.President Zuzana Caputova condemned the "brutal and ruthless" attack, calling the shooting on her political partner an "attack on democracy". More footage showed Fico being carried and bundled into a car, flanked by his bodyguards, and driven away at speed for urgent medical help.
He has also opposed Nato membership for Ukraine and said the nation is “not an independent and sovereign country”. Sickeningly, Fico has claimed that Ukraine - which has been fighting off Russia’s illegal invasion for more than two years - is “one of the most corrupt nations in the world”.
