On 15 May 2024, Prime Minister of Slovakia Robert Fico was shot and critically injured in the central Slovak town of Handlová, in front of its House of Culture after a government meeting.[3][4][5] He was hospitalised and stabilised after emergency surgery.[6][7][8] The suspect, 71-year-old Juraj Cintula, was detained by police at the scene.[1] During interrogation, he stated that he acted primarily because of the Fico government's opposition to military assistance to Ukraine during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[9]
