The Czech Prime Minister condemned his Slovak counterpart for an interview with a Russian television channel

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico’s speech on the Russian television channel Rossiya-1 was a mistake. This was stated by the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic, Petr Fiala.

According to him, he categorically disagrees with the statements of his Slovak colleague. For example, the fact that support for Ukraine by EU countries only prolongs the war. At the same time, Fiala stated that his point of view is completely opposite to Fico’s position.

“The West is not responsible for the situation, the fault clearly lies with Russia, this is obvious to everyone. Russia is an aggressor; has violated all agreements and all rules of international order. I find it completely unacceptable to question this or downplay it.” – said.

The Czech Prime Minister also noted that he tries to be cautious in his statements, because he does not want to overshadow the excellent Czech-Slovak relations.

“But at the same time, we cannot close our eyes to the fact that we have different opinions on key foreign policy issues.” Fiala added.

Recall that after coming to power last fall, the Fico government changed Slovakia’s previous position, suspending military assistance to kyiv from state reserves. Bratislava criticizes sanctions against Russia and believes that the EU should try to gradually normalize relations with Russia. Previously, Robert Fico appeared on a Russian video conference broadcast, where, among other things, he stated that he was willing to speak with the president of the Russian Federation. Vladimir Putin and will consider it an honor to participate in the celebration of the end of World War II in Moscow next year. The Slovak opposition called the interview “disgraceful.”
