Summary
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, marking a rare visit by an EU leader since Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
Talks focused on gas transit, Ukraine, and bilateral relations, with Fico opposing Ukraine’s refusal to renew a key gas deal and sanctions on Russia’s nuclear program.
Fico, known for his pro-Russia stance, has ended Slovak military aid to Ukraine and criticized EU sanctions.
The visit, condemned by Slovak opposition parties, underscores Fico’s divergence from mainstream EU policies on Russia and Ukraine.
I was never really proud of my nationality. But since yesterday evening I’m actively and fully ashamed of being Slovak. Just disgusting.
Can take the people out of the soviet. But sadly can’t take the soviet out of some people.
I’m not sure it’s about soviet, this motherfucker seems to just play every side so he can get the most for himself.
It’s really sad to see such lying opportunistic pieces of shit getting successful. Like we as a society should be able to protect itself from such menace.
What happened yesterday evening?
What the news article is about
Aha I thought there was a separate reason, with that specificity.
I believe some sort of leader of their country happened to visit another, but that’s just a hunch
Not to worry, as an American who watched my country vote for Donald Trump, I know the feeling, you’re not alone. Seems like the global bootlicking towards fascism is affecting many who want the fascists dead and buried.
