Slovakia’s PM in Hot Water: Robert Fico’s Trump‑Loving Take on Ukraine
When the Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico drops a line on the front of a World War, all eyes on the press conference turn to a mix of disbelief and a dash of political flavor.
Fico’s “It Could Have Ended A Few Minutes After It Began” Theory
- Fico claims the fierce conflict that started in early 2022 could have been tucked neatly beneath the floorboards “shortly after it began.”
- He points the finger at President Zelensky for allegedly needing the war to cling to his seat, a waddling metaphor that drew laughs and raised eyebrows.
- In the same breath, he endorses Trump’s critique that any severe backlash against the Ukrainian leader was covered in disapproval.
“Security Reasons” for Putin’s Invasion – A Rushed Argument
Calling the full‑scale invasion by Vladimir Putin “justified” isn’t a mild statement. Fico says the Russian giant had “serious security reasons” for rolling out the war machine, a skewed viewpoint that points the blame back at Ukrainian policy over conflict escalation.
SpaceX Starlink Saga – The Galaxy of Humorous Miscommunication
- Fico cites a behind‑the‑scenes shuffle where the Ukrainian government turned down an initial proposal from the U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessen around using SpaceX’s Starlink to maintain connectivity.
- While the discussion was brewing between U.S. and Ukrainian officials, Fico decided to paint the conflict as an easy win, as if zipping past the tech complexity that turned the war back into a high‑stakes chess match.
The Broader Picture – Why The Story Is Still Unfolding
In a landscape that is already heavily saturated with political drama, Fico’s sweeping statements spark a last gasp for nuance. People have to now decide who is reading the same news and who is reading a narrative twist that feels like a political game of “Who Said What?”
Meanwhile, Fico is still hoping to convince his fellow Slovaks that the world will watch him side with Trump once again, all while speaking up about policies that would keep someone in power for years. It’s like hosting a dinner party where the menu is a mix of drama with a sprinkle of politics – you just hope it doesn’t turn into a mess for everyone’s stomach.

U.S. Blackmail? Kyiv, Watch Out for Starlink!
It seems like a plot ripped straight out of a political thriller: two powerful voices, Trump and Fico, claim that the only way Ukraine can survive is by signing a deal over rare‑earth minerals – and that the U.S. might just turn off Starlink if you don’t comply.
Trump’s Corner: A Dictator’s Warning
- Trump’s latest tweet reads: “Zelensky is a dictator, no elections, stop it or the country will disappear.”
- He adds that Russia has “claimed much territory, making them the card‑holders” in any peace talks.
- His message? The U.S. should keep pressure on Kyiv until the grab bag of minerals is signed.
Fico’s Slate: War, Elections, and Broken Promises
- Fico declared that in wartime elections are impossible and that EU funds are misplaced.
- He called Ukraine’s war strategy a “bad plan” and warned that the EU is “playing at the U.S.‑Russia peace table while still cheering Ukraine to the gunpoint.”
- “The peace talks might not mean peace,” he said, but urged Europe to help President Biden end the killings ASAP.
Ukraine’s Came‑to‑the‑Aid Response
From Kyiv came some snarky retorts: “You’re the Kremlin’s mouthpiece,” and “We’re deeply disappointed in your talk.” They point out that such accusations are a thin thin layer over the real problem: a war that hasn’t bought them any patriot pie.
Reality Check
The truth is that the U.S. is under pressure, but it’s a game of footnotes. Not all ears are still listening to Trump, nor are all EU members attempting to steer the conflict toward a compromised peace. The key question remains: can Ukraine maintain autonomy without losing an entire satellite network?
