Slovak Prime Minister gave interview to Russian notorious propagandist Skabeyeva

In an interview with notorious propagandist Olga Skabeyeva, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico discussed the explosions of the Nord Stream gas pipelines and the so-called “fatigue” in Europe brought on by the Russia-Ukraine war.

Olga Skabeyeva released extracts from the interview with Robert Fico. The Slovak Prime Minister stated that he would be “very happy” to visit Moscow on May 9.

Fico stated that he considers it his “personal duty” to thank “the soldiers of the Red Army.”

“It would be an honor for me to travel to Moscow to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II and, most importantly, the victory over fascism.” “I believe that this is my personal responsibility,” the Slovak prime minister stated.

Skabeyeva is one of the leading presenters on Russian propaganda TV. She’s notorious for supporting Putin’s war and the invasion of Ukraine, as well as for broadcasting Kremlin’s falsehoods. Therefore, we can scarcely regard her as a journalist, but rather as a propagandist.

Fico recently stated that he hopes to restore normal relations with Russia following the end of the full-scale war in Ukraine.

During the interview, Fico dismissed the claim that Ukrainian officers blew up the Nord Stream pipeline as “nonsense.”

The Slovak Prime Minister also discussed the “fatigue” of the war in Ukraine, adding that “in April 2022, there were real agreements on the table that could have immediately ended the war.”

“And today we are all looking at this war, and I feel, excuse me for being frank, that we look away and say, “Here are your weapons, and here is your money; go ahead and fight, but don’t bother us with it; we just don’t want to have anything to do with this war anymore,” the Slovak prime minister stated.

We note that the Slovak prime minister frequently echoes the Russian narrative on the causes of the Russia-Ukraine war in his remarks, particularly Putin’s false claim about “neo-Nazis in Ukraine.” Observers often perceived Fico’s stance as pro-Kremlin, particularly when considering Europe’s support and military aid to Ukraine.

On the anniversary of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Putin’s troops, Robert Fico claimed that the war began with “the rampage of Ukrainian neo-Nazis.” In fact, Russian troops attacked Ukraine’s regular army, invading the territory of a sovereign nation.
