Despite Slovakia’s EU and NATO membership, Fico vowed deeper energy cooperation with Moscow and announced opposition to an EU plan to cut Russian oil and gas supplies.
He lashed out at EU chief Ursula von der Leyen, calling EU leaders “frogs in a well.” Putin praised Fico’s independent stance and declared Russia has no objection to Ukraine joining the EU—but NATO membership remains off limits.

In a major geopolitical and energy shift, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping announced a deal to build the “Power of Siberia-2” pipeline, delivering 50 bcm of gas annually via Mongolia to China. Gazprom hailed it as the world’s most ambitious gas project, alongside an 8 bcm expansion through existing routes.

Russia has firmly denied allegations of jamming GPS signals on European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s flight to Bulgaria. The incident occurred just days after von der Leyen called Putin a “predator,” sparking suspicions of deliberate interference. Her plane suffered a GPS blackout near Plovdiv Airport, forcing pilots to land using paper maps. Bulgarian authorities linked the case to rising GPS jamming across Europe, widely blamed on Russia. The scare adds new strain as von der Leyen pushes for a stronger European army to counter Moscow.

NATO Chief Mark Rutte, has delivered a stark warning to the West after Russia’s latest deadly strikes on Kiev. Speaking in Brussels, Rutte declared: “We cannot be naive about Russia,” emphasizing that Moscow remains an existential threat to European security. His words come as Ukrainian officials report heavy damage from missile and drone barrages across the capital, killing civilians and crippling infrastructure. Rutte, set to take over NATO leadership, is pushing allies to maintain unity and step up military support for Ukraine, warning that hesitation only strengthens the Kremlin. The statement signals a hardening Western stance amid growing concerns that Russia is expanding its long war strategy while testing NATO’s resolve. With Ukraine’s battlefield struggles and internal political rifts in Europe and the US, Rutte’s message is clear: NATO cannot afford illusions when facing Moscow’s aggression.

In a shocking moment at the White House, U.S. President Donald Trump defended Russian President Vladimir Putin in front of Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky, leaving the Ukrainian president speechless. Trump insisted that the focus should be on a “deal, not a ceasefire,” sparking global outrage and raising fears about Western unity in the war. He refused to directly condemn Russia’s invasion, even hinting at U.S. security guarantees for Ukraine’s future and suggesting that American troop deployment could be on the table, pending discussions with European allies. Trump also revealed that Putin is “waiting for his call” after the meeting — a statement that set off alarms in Kyiv, Brussels, and Washington. The tense encounter underscored growing fractures between Western allies over how to end the conflict, and left Zelensky visibly cornered in the most high-stakes meeting of his political career.
