Slovak PM Fico accuses Western politicians of seeking NATO-Russia war after Ukraine strategy failed
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico accused some Western politicians on Saturday of seeking a direct conflict between NATO and Russia after the failure of a strategy to defeat Moscow through the war in Ukraine.
In a video message posted on social media, Fico said the West’s continued support for Ukraine had achieved nothing and was “pouring fuel on the fire.” He claimed the collapse of efforts to destroy Russia via the Ukraine war had pushed certain Western leaders to pursue a NATO-Russia confrontation as an alternative. “Certain war hawks within NATO are trying, at any cost, to turn this war into a conflict between Russia and NATO,” he said .
Fico, whose government maintains warm relations with Russia and refuses military aid for Ukraine, warned earlier this week that a drone incursion could trigger NATO’s collective defense clause. On Saturday, he reiterated that Slovakia would not send troops under a “fabricated pretext” and stressed the war in Ukraine was “not Slovakia’s nor NATO’s war” .
The prime minister also said Europe faced a “mortal danger” and that creating a pretext for war was easy, urging an end to what he called “false solidarity” among EU states .
