Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico has expressed support for former US President Donald Trump's views regarding Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the ongoing war in Ukraine. Fico claimed that Zelensky could have concluded the conflict soon after it began and argued that Russia had justified reasons for its invasion due to security concerns. He further contended that the war has hindered democratic processes in Ukraine and accused the EU of complicity in perpetuating the conflict for geopolitical gain. This stance has drawn criticism from Ukraine, deeming Fico as the "kremlin's mouthpiece."
Robert Fico stated, "The conflict could have been brought to an end shortly after it began," suggesting that Zelensky's actions prolonged the war.
Fico criticized Zelensky, claiming he "actually needs this war" to maintain his power, highlighting the political dynamics of the ongoing conflict.
Regarding Ukraine's situation, Fico said, "When there is a war, there cannot be democratic elections... it is difficult to investigate funding given to Ukraine."
Fico alleged the "majority" of EU states support using the war in Ukraine to weaken Russia, reflecting on the broader geopolitical implications.
