Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico echoed the Kremlin’s narratives in a speech marking the second anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The bet on the victory of the Ukrainian military in the war with Russia failed, and the war itself began in 2014 due to the “pleasure of Ukrainian neo-Nazis.” This was said on Saturday, February 24, by Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico in his speech on the second anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
“We are convinced that the conflict in Ukraine has only a military solution. It seems appropriate to me to say something else on the occasion of the second anniversary of the war in Ukraine: the West cannot admit that the strategy of continuing the conflict in Ukraine did not work,” he said.
He emphasized that despite everything, Russia “is not on its knees, either politically or economically,” has a greater territorial victory in the war than Ukraine, and is adapting its military production to the new conditions.
Speaking about the attack on Ukraine, Fico said that the Russian president seems to have no other choice, because NATO is expanding to the east.
“And to stop this process, Putin began to fight,” Fico believes.
He also said that Ukraine’s entry into NATO is unacceptable, because Ukraine’s possible membership in the Alliance would be a prerequisite “before the outbreak of the Third World War.”
The Slovak Prime Minister reiterated that a military solution to the war is impossible and strongly condemned the United States and the EU for helping Ukraine.
Earlier, Vladimir Putin made a cynical statement that in 2014, the war in Ukraine seems to have been started by the United States, and not by Russia, which annexed Ukrainian Crimea and started a hybrid war in Donbass.
