War in Ukraine. Robert Fico: “They will be betrayed by the West”
In an interview with Brazilian media, he suggested that the country would have to say goodbye to the shape of its borders that existed before the conflict with Russia.
– Ukraine was caught up in a history that could never end well for the country. He said it would lose territory and not be invited to join NATO.
The Slovak prime minister was also skeptical of the announcement of Western troops entering Ukraine, which would guarantee Ukraine's security before joining the North Atlantic Alliance. President Emmanuel Macron put forward such a proposal, and President Volodymyr Zelenskiy confirmed that he would take it into account.
– I think Ukraine will lose a third of its territory, but it will be provided with security, such as the presence of foreign troops. If this is considered the welfare of Ukraine that everyone is talking about, the Ukrainians will be betrayed, Robert Fico said.
He added that only a ceasefire and entry into negotiations could resolve the conflict with Russia.

Fico becomes the first Slovak representative to make an official visit to the Kremlin since Russia's invasion of Ukraine began. Other Western leaders do not go to Moscow.
Robert Fico emphasized the role of the Red Army and the Soviet Union in the victory over the Third Reich. He said that the people of the Slovak Republic “remember with honor and respect all anniversaries and events related to the liberation by the Red Army in 1944-1945.”
The Prime Minister also announced that the government would uphold the legacy of fighting extremist ideologies and the “historical truth” about World War II and the role of the Red Army.
“In the spirit of the above, it is natural that, as Prime Minister of the Slovak Republic, I am very interested in participating in the official celebrations that will take place in Moscow on May 9, 2025. I will therefore be happy to participate. “I am pleased to accept the formal invitation of the President of the Russian Federation,'' he added.
