Populist, pro-Russia ex-PM leads leftist party to win in Slovakia's parliamentary vote
The election Saturday was a test for the small eastern European country’s support for neighbouring Ukraine in its war with Russia, and the win by Fico could strain a fragile unity in the European Union and NATO.
Russian President Vladimir Putin accused Ukraine of launching attacks to intimidate world leaders attending Moscow’s Victory Day. Despite ceasefire calls, Kiev escalated drone strikes and incursions. Leaders from Asia, Africa, and Europe defied Western pressure and joined Putin to honor WWII history. Putin praised their political courage, calling out Ukraine’s ties to Nazi collaborators. Watch how the global stage reacted to this powerful moment in Moscow.
