Protests Breaks Out in Slovakia Amid Growing Frustrations With PM Fico’s Russia Policy| Oneindia
Bratislava witnesses a massive protest against Slovakia's government, critiqued for its proximity to Russia.
Thousands voice support for Ukraine and opposition to Prime Minister Fico's policies, including skepticism toward EU aid for Ukraine and efforts to renew ties with Russia.
Concerns mount over Slovakia's foreign policy direction, sparking dissent and challenging the government's stance.
Hungary and Slovakia have issued a joint letter to the European Union sharply criticizing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky after Ukrainian drones struck the Druzhba oil pipeline — a key energy lifeline for Central Europe. The move has fueled speculation that Budapest and Bratislava could distance themselves from Kyiv and shift their stance within NATO and the EU.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has rattled Kyiv and EU capitals with his latest declaration: Slovakia will not send U.S. weapons to Ukraine and firmly rejects the idea of funding arms deliveries through the European Union. While reiterating support for Ukraine’s EU membership bid, Fico opposed its NATO accession and called instead for direct peace talks with Russia.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has shocked Kyiv and EU leaders by declaring that Slovakia will not support sending U.S. weapons to Ukraine at the EU’s expense and firmly opposes Ukraine’s accession to NATO. While Fico reaffirmed support for Ukraine joining the European Union, he criticized current Western strategies, called for peace talks involving Russia, and warned against what he described as a dangerous arms-funding model.

A major escalation in Europe’s energy war: Russian crude oil flows to Hungary and Slovakia through the Druzhba pipeline have been suspended after an alleged Ukrainian attack on a transformer station. Hungary’s Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó called the disruption “outrageous and unacceptable,” while Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry implied Hungary should blame Russia for starting the war. The halt comes just days before Trump, Zelensky, and EU leaders are set to meet — raising fresh questions about NATO unity, Europe’s energy security, and the future of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has issued a chilling warning: Ukraine’s potential EU membership could drag Hungary and the entire Eastern European region into war. Speaking bluntly, Orban said Ukraine’s entry would turn Hungary into a battlefield, risking the lives of young Hungarians and destabilizing regional peace. Despite Ukraine’s 2022 EU candidacy and Brussels pushing for 2030 accession, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia have voiced serious opposition, citing security, financial, and political consequences.
Orban also slammed the EU's seven-year budget proposal, claiming it's designed to fund Ukraine’s membership and could devastate the bloc. Hungary has already blocked several EU military aid packages to Kyiv and insists on a ceasefire. A recent referendum showed 95% of Hungarians oppose Ukraine’s EU entry. With mounting pressure from Brussels, Orban’s words now echo across a fragile Europe—will Ukraine’s EU dream come at the cost of continental peace?

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico stunned NATO and EU allies after rejecting proposed sanctions on Russian energy, calling them “ideological” and harmful to Slovakia’s economy. At a press conference, Fico questioned why Slovakia should pay high gas prices due to the Ukraine conflict, citing a €16–20 billion contract with Gazprom lasting until 2034. He warned of potential lawsuits if the contract is broken and predicted that “we’ll all cooperate with Russia again.” His remarks underline a growing rift in Europe over energy strategy and long-term Russian ties.

EU Chief Ursula von der Leyen has escalated tensions with Moscow, calling President Vladimir Putin a “predator” while urging European nations to boost their militaries against the Russian threat. Speaking in Riga during her Europe tour, von der Leyen blamed Russia for hybrid attacks, cyber operations, and weaponizing migrants. Her remarks follow Putin’s warning against Western sanctions and his show of unity with China. As the EU pushes for militarization and Moscow aligns with Beijing, Europe risks becoming a major flashpoint in the ongoing Ukraine conflict.

A U.S. appeals court has ruled that many of President Trump’s global tariffs were imposed illegally, dealing a major setback to his trade agenda. The 7-4 ruling found Trump overstepped his authority by using emergency powers to levy duties, though tariffs remain in place until October pending further appeal. The decision casts uncertainty over deals with the EU, UK, and other partners, raising questions about billions collected. Critics warn of a “global diplomatic embarrassment” as Trump vows to fight back in the Supreme Court.
