FICO–PUTIN MEET: ‘I’m Not Ashamed to Go to Moscow,’ Defies EU Critics Over V-Day Trip to Russia

Robert Fico, the Prime Minister of Slovakia, on Friday defended his planned attendance at Russia’s Victory Day commemorations in Moscow, saying he was “not ashamed” to visit and lay flowers at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Speaking at a Labour Day rally in Banovce nad Bebravou, Fico reaffirmed his stance on maintaining ties with Russia despite criticism from several European countries and reported airspace restrictions imposed by some Baltic states. He framed his visit as a tribute to Soviet and Romanian soldiers who died during World War II and reiterated his broader opposition to Slovakia’s involvement in the war in Ukraine. His comments add to growing divisions within the European Union over relations with Moscow and continued support for Ukraine.
