Slovak Prime Minister Fico said that some Western politicians are trying to provoke a direct confrontation between NATO and the RF. He cited the failure of the strategy “defeat Russia through the war in Ukraine” as the reason.
Fico called Western support for Ukraine “pouring oil on the fire” and added that the war on Ukrainian territory is not a war of Slovakia or NATO. In his words, Slovak soldiers will not fight under a “manufactured pretext,” Reuters writes.
