Polish Prime Minister Notes Change in Slovak Leader Fico's Tone Toward Moscow
Share:
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has observed a shift in Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico's stance toward Russia, describing it as a "pragmatic correction." While Fico's relationship with Moscow remains warmer than the European average, Tusk noted that a change in tone is becoming apparent. Fico, who leads the ruling social-democratic Smer-SD party, has maintained notably closer ties with Russia compared to most European Union leaders since returning to power in Slovakia. The observation from Poland's prime minister suggests a potential recalibration in Slovakia's approach to Russia amid ongoing tensions over the war in Ukraine.
