Fico Never Lets You Down
----------------------------------
Twenty six out of 27 EU leaders, including Slovak prime minister Robert Fico, approved a joint statement on Europe’s rearmament and continued aid to Ukraine amid the ongoing Russian invasion.
Despite flexing muscles at home for weeks ahead of the emergency summit, the pro-Putin Slovak PM did not vote against the summit conclusions, leaving only his equally confused friend, Hungary’s Viktor Orbán, to play the role of the bad boy/useful idiot. Before leaving for Brussels, Fico, long blaming Ukraine for cutting off Russian gas transit through its territory, allegedly causing massive financial losses to Slovakia, told Slovak MPs on the parliamentary EU affairs committee that he would veto the conclusions unless they included guarantees for the resumption of Russian gas transit.

Slovak PM Fico: Ukraine has lost already
-----------------------------------------------------------------
“It’s 100% sure that Ukraine has already lost this war and is still losing,” pro-Moscow Slovak PM Robert Fico told the Slovak parliament’s EU affairs committee before leaving for an EU summit in Brussels later today.
According to Fico, the sanctions are not working, and Russia is emerging from the war stronger than ever. “Visit large Russian cities and see how people are suffering under the sanctions. They haven’t even noticed them,” Fico said, adding that Russia is making huge money from natural gas.
The parliamentary committee also gave the green-light to Fico’s intention to veto the conclusions on further EU aid and support for Ukraine expected to be adopted at the Brussels summit, if they don’t mention the restoration of Russian gas transit to Slovakia through Ukraine.
“There’s a strategy here that the war must go on. But we won’t give any military aid to Ukraine,” Fico also told the parliamentary committee, emphasising that the document to be adopted in Brussels today was about the war only.

Klarer Fico og Orban å stanse økt militær støtte til. #Ukraina?

Gasslededingen fra #Russland til Slovakia må være endel av forhandlingene med Russland og Ukraina må styrkes for at de skal ha et godt forhandlingsgrunnlag.

Det burde egentlig vøre mulig å resonnere med #Fico, men jeg har for liten kunnskap om #Slovakia.

#Orban er jo en representant for #Putin så han må presses til å gjøre det rette for Ukraina.

Aftenposten · Slik vil EU svare på Trumps beslutning om stans i støtten til Ukraina. Men blir lederne enige?By Rakel Haugen Strand
Continued thread

„Trumps Tür stehe offen, falls Präsident Selenskyj bereit sei, über Frieden zu verhandeln, sagte er.“ - Was soll #Selenskyi machen? Die weiße Fahne hissen? Auf den Rücken legen und Kehle zeigen? #Trump ist ein mieser Schulhofschläger, welcher nur das Recht des Stärkeren anerkennt. Für uns als #Europa und #Europäer gibt es IMHO nur noch einen Weg: Zusammenwachsen, Stärke und Handlungsfähigkeit zeigen. #Minitrumps wie #Orban und #Fico verstehen auch nur nie Sprache der Stärke.

In un incontro dell'#Ue di venerdì, l'#Ungheria ha respinto una bozza di testo sull'#Ucraina che include un ragionamento sulle garanzie di sicurezza che il blocco può fornire a Kiev, nonché un nuovo pacchetto di aiuti militari. Lo riporta Politico aggiungendo che anche il primo ministro slovacco Robert #Fico ha affermato che il suo paese rifiuterà il supporto finanziario o militare a Kiev e ha liquidato l'approccio "pace attraverso la forza" dell'Occidente come irrealistico.

#Fico sagte, er würde am Donnerstag, dem 6.3.2025, beim #EUGipfel Einigungen der #EuropäischeUnion zugunsten der #Ukraine blockieren, falls seine Forderungen nicht akzeptiert würden.
Die slowakischen Forderungen sind Unsinn. Sie dienen, wie #Trumps und #Orbans #Blockade - #Politik, dem korrupten #Mörder #Putin.

Die putinfreundlichen #Slowakei und #Ungarn - selbst auf Wegen in die #Diktatur, korrupte Profiteure der EU- #Subventionen - haben in der EU nichts zu suchen.

#Slovakia populist PM Robert #Fico repeated his country won't provide #Ukraine any military or financial support that would help it fight #Russia. Fico also demanded that an emergency EU summit in Brussels on Thurs agree to a call for an immediate ceasefire, "which is something that President #Zelenskyy & a majority of #EU member states refuse to do." Fico said his country also wants the summit to specifically request Ukraine to reopen the transit of Russian #gas to #Europe.
