Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico sharply criticised the Western approach to Russia and Ukraine in a recent video address. He accused European leaders of recklessness and deliberate deception towards Moscow. Fico claimed that some European countries are tired of peace and easily manufacture conflicts, particularly between NATO and Russia. He emphasised that smaller nations like Slovakia want no involvement in such confrontations. While condemning Russia’s violation of international law, Fico stressed the importance of understanding the 2014 events in eastern Ukraine and NATO’s broken promises. He contrasted Western support for Ukraine with condemnation of Israel’s actions in Gaza, calling the Ukraine crisis a greater threat to global peace. Fico also highlighted how Russia’s economy is now stronger than Germany’s, criticising the EU’s sanctions strategy. Despite occasionally opposing sanctions, he remains a vocal critic of the bloc’s policy on Russia.
