Slovak PM Fico says some in West seek war between Russia and NATO
Fico said 1 failed strategy against Moscow is pushing Europe toward war and that Slovakia will not send soldiers under a fabricated pretext.
On Saturday, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico accused some Western politicians of seeking conflict between NATO and Russia, claiming their strategy to defeat Moscow in Ukraine has "failed."
Longtime Slovak leader Fico maintains warm relations with Russia and refuses military aid for Ukraine, arguing Western support only "pour fuel on the fire" without achieving results.
"Certain war hawks within NATO are trying, at any cost, to turn this war into a conflict between Russia and NATO," Fico claimed, warning "we face a mortal danger."
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned Thursday that Russia plans hybrid drone and missile attacks against countries supporting Ukraine, while French President Emmanuel Macron cited intensifying Russian aggression on Friday.
Earlier this week, Fico stated he wants to prevent Slovakia from becoming part of an armed conflict, reiterating that Slovakia will not send soldiers to fight even if a pretext arises.
Robert Fitzo stated that some Western politicians were allegedly trying to provoke a war between NATO and Russia, and excluded Slovakia's involvement in such a conflict.

ROBERT Fico claims that some in the West desire a direct conflict between NATO and Russia after the failed strategy of crushing Moscow in the war in Ukraine.
