Slovak Government Invites Back Russian Military Attaché, Citing Cemetery Maintenance as Reason
Share:
Slovakia's government under Prime Minister Robert Fico has invited back a Russian military attaché, citing the need to care for war graves as justification for the decision. The move has drawn criticism from security experts who view it as another step toward strengthening the presence of Russian intelligence operatives in Slovakia. However, these experts note that such intelligence activities could continue even without an official military attaché position. The decision comes amid ongoing tensions over Russia's role in European security and represents a significant shift in Slovakia's diplomatic stance toward Moscow.
