Zelensky STUNNED as EU Nation REFUSES Free Weapons for Ukraine; Slovakia Says ‘NO’ to NATO
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.

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.

During an Oval Office meeting on August 18, 2025, Donald Trump displayed a Ukraine war map highlighting territories under Russian control — a move Russia’s Foreign Ministry called a “strong slap” for President Zelensky. The map served as a public reminder of Ukraine’s battlefield losses, undermining Zelensky’s narrative of strength before European allies. For Russia, the display was hailed as a diplomatic win, reinforcing Putin’s territorial claims. For Europe, it raised fears that U.S. priorities are shifting toward Moscow, pressuring Kyiv toward concessions.

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?

Donald Trump stunned Kyiv by declaring Ukraine must concede on Crimea and abandon NATO ambitions to achieve peace with Russia. Calling NATO entry for Ukraine a “non-starter,” Trump said Moscow would never accept Western forces on its border. He insisted Crimea was permanently lost and hinted land swaps could be part of a settlement, though not Crimea’s return. Zelensky, bound by Ukraine’s constitution, rejected territorial concessions but admitted land swaps were discussed as Russia presses demands for NATO renunciation.
