Slovakia's Prime Minister Robert Fico and Serbia's President Aleksandar Vucic attended Russia's Victory Day parade in Moscow despite EU officials' warnings. This marks a significant diplomatic stance, as they were the only European leaders present at the event. EU chief diplomat Kaja Kallas criticized their actions, arguing that true supporters of peace should align with Ukraine and not Russia. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk condemned their attendance, highlighting the moral implications of celebrating with a nation currently waging war. There is uncertainty regarding the potential EU sanctions against Slovakia and Serbia for these actions.
Kaja Kallas stated, 'All those who truly support peace cannot stand side-by-side with Putin. Those who truly support peace should be in Ukraine tomorrow, not Moscow.'
Donald Tusk criticized the attendance of European leaders, expressing, 'For me it is unthinkable that one can be from this part of the world... and celebrate Victory Day with those who are murdering children.'
