Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico strongly criticizes the European Union. He says the EU makes the Ukraine war continue instead of working for peace.
In a TV interview, Fico said that if the EU worked as hard for peace as it does for supporting the war, the fighting would already be finished. Fico's government wants to end the war quickly. He believes the war should have ended in two to three months if some groups had not stopped peace efforts.
He says two important things must happen: Ukraine cannot join NATO, and countries must discuss possible border changes. Fico thinks both Ukraine and Russia need security promises. He has criticized Western policies before, saying the West wants to use Ukraine against Russia.
He mentioned that past peace talks failed because leaders like former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson stopped them.
