I think the treaty giving Russia the warm water port would not have been completely fair, but then again neither is genocide of Ukranians a second time once again under the hand of Jewish leadership. We remember the Holodomor, and know the big business ownership of Ukraine upon US victory.
Legally it obviously cannot. The sk gov doesn't even own a majority in the main Slovak Power Plants company, Czech billionaire recently increased his stake to two thirds. But the wires go through Slovakia and these wires may be sabotaged by Fico as he likes. Truly an act of war against ua, cz
Russia has been working to isolate Ukraine from the West. Hungary, Slovakia and I'm worried Moldova and Romania may follow soon enough, given the recent increase interference campaigns.
I am from Slovakia and I support Ukrainian decision to stop transporting ruSSian gas. I am ashamed of our government. Fico is betting on collapse of the West. 🇸🇰🇺🇦
Za starej vlády, 🇸🇰 bolo obrovským podporovateľom 🇺🇦. V čase keď 🇮🇩 blokovali hranice, išlo veľa pomoci cez nás. Iba Fico je problém. 🇸🇰je🇪🇺. Sláva 🇺🇦 ľudu
Fico grip on power is very thin. All it wants is for Slovaks to start protesting in #Bratislava and we might see him on a one way flight to the swamplands of Muscovy!
It is perfectly OK that president Zelensky pushes this message, however for the folks who have just tuned in it might be nice to know that Fico's threat is not coming from a vacuum. Ukraine is going to cut the transfer of Russian gas to Slovakia on January 1st, so this is tit-for-tat, to some degree
That would only solve the problem short-term. Czechia might be at risk too. Hybrid ops have already had some success. That said, Slovakia must get a funding cut and suspension of voting rights. I've been at all public protests I could attend. We're trying to oust him but it's an uphill battle.
Some are already demanding exit from the EU all by themselves. The fact they'll be royally screwed afterwards remains unknown to them. I won't be waiting for that within the country, though, and will most probably renounce my citizenship the moment I'll be eligible for a different one.
That might send them both into the arms of Putin. But, limiting their voting rights in EU matters & limiting any EU funding might be a better approach—IMO.
I am so deeply ashamed that there aren't any good words for it. I am terribly sorry the rational part of society couldn't stop it. We've failed Ukraine and it'll be another dark stain on this nation's history and conscience.
Zelensky has offered Slovakia $500m in compensation to offset the loss they would incur from increased costs of importing gas from alternate routes. Fico said no and now Slovakia losses $500m and more in lost revenue from selling electricity to Ukraine.
It’s obvious whose side Fico is on.
Fico tipped his hand when he refused Zelinskyy’s offer to supply gas and compensation, just not Muscovite gas. His refusal directly harms the Slovak people while aiding the Muscovite dictator. Is this the action of a statesman or a traitor?
What fico did must be one of the dumbest political moves of a decade. Not only has he sided with the aggressor throughout the war, BUT now also goes against the very logic of having cheap energy source when compensation was promised AND now also BLACKMAILS the victim.
And now he will be without anything. He was made aware this agreement will come to an end and had ample of time to adjust.
Of course, it all makes sense once you factor in the personal benefit from putin. Still, how does he explain this to his voters?
I am curious how the people of Slovakia thinks about Russia,Ukraine,EU and Fico himself? I haven’t read or heard anything really how the Slovakian people thinks generally in these matters.
I think Brussels/Washington should seriously consider kicking Slovakia and Hungary out of EU/NATO and take in Ukraine... speaking as a Slovak citizen. It's not just Fico, the country is lost to the RuZZian brain rot.
I think Fico is grasping any straw to appease his pro-russian electorate since his government is on the verge of collapse. Hopefully it will backlash and the EU hand which feeds him will finally slap him back to his place.
I’d agree 💯 % with what he said. FIFO’s background is colourful to say the least, so it’s no surprise he’d jump into bed with dogs for his own benefit.
Fico must be given a lesson so he will be disciplined anf will repeat again,maybe he promised Putin that he will do his best to convinced Ukraine in exchange of .....🤔
Isn't it clear by now that Ukraine is Europe and belongs to the EU, even more so then Fico or Orban. Why don't act accordingly, full support, finish off this invasion once and for all. Send troops, use the full arsenal to kick out russia. Ukraine proved long enough which path they want to take!
I haven't heard a lot about it. Like there was not a call to investigate or anything. WEIRD...
It's like a week or so, no, a few days no one said much about it. So it was easy to forget.
See?For me that's the pattern.I've had suspicions w Bolsonaro attack,as many elements just didn't add up.
And the guy who shot Fico was a member of Slovakian branch of Night Wolves and Fico then said publicly,he didn't mind 😆
Then he himself pulled the parallel to Butler, and Trump getting "shot"
I think MAKS, that any Russian gas or oil running thru a Ukrainian pipeline needs to be shut off completely to affect Austria, Hungary and Fico. Let them find out the consequences of their choices
Slovakia and Czech Republic had equal GDP per capita in 1993. Now slovaks have 2/3 of what their former compatriots have. Electing Putin puppets has its drawbacks. Be smart don't do it.
🇸🇰 economy equals Volkswagen, KIA motors, Peugeot factories. It is time for some very serious phonecalls from 🇰🇷, 🇩🇪, 🇫🇷. The factories can be moved to Moldova or later 🇺🇦. ONE PHONECALL to the president Pellegrini to arrange his Hlas party rebellion and Fico is OVER. 4 MPs are rebelious, 1 more needed.
It's a sign that Refinery and Storage strikes are starting to hurt Putin.
Needs more.
Plus selective strikes on RU power infrastructure.
Switch the lights off for the military complex.
Very sad to see Slovakia once more on the wrong side of history. In know many good Slovak people are absolutely devestated by the deciscions of their government.
If the EU had the audacity to hold a referendum on Slovakia and Hungary's membership, those two nations would undoubtedly be forcibly expelled from the union.
As NAFO member, you should not echo Russian propaganda. Hungary was supplying natural gas, diesel and electricity to Ukraine since the beginning of the war. Yes, the UKR-HUN border gas pipeline is transporting gas towards Ukraine.
Oh, come on. People knew very well there was going to be a coalition goverment and who was going to go with whom. His position isn't weak, his coalition partners seem just fine with his stance. The only thing that can bother Fico is, if things get sour for them, he is a perfect scapegoat.
I honestly think that the EU should kick Slovaks out of the union. I understand that is a very rigid thing to do. fico must feel consequences of his anti EU policy
I think both Hungary 🇭🇺 and Slovakia 🇸🇰 should have their 🇪🇺 voting rights suspended as of yesterday, temporarily - until they can choose leaders that do not obey Moscow over their own Country's interests, and 🇪🇺 Values.
And there should be investigations on how 2 countries got to this situation.

This is a bust for Putin and Fico..
2) Poland then sells more Electricity to Ukraine
As such any nation promoting Russia should be sanctioned
History will remember their shameful behaviour for generations.

Money talks, Fico’s been bought.
ENEMY OF EUROPEANS!

He will not risk anything with russia.
Or does anyone think, he's happy to see the Giftzwerg?

No one shot him, nor forced him to do anything , and he still loves Putin:
So 105,635 km2 is forest
2024 est. population is 33,443,000
So each Ukrainian has 3160 square metres of forest.
Could work, though wood burning stoves might be in short supply.
And stoves are smokey.
Needs more.
Plus selective strikes on RU power infrastructure.
Switch the lights off for the military complex.
So let their society suffer their choices
