Slovakia’s Prime Minister Robert Fico called out the “elephant in the room,” the imminent and “mortal danger” of full-scale warfare. He declared in a Sept. 19 video address:
“We face a mortal danger.” The West is “pouring fuel to the fire” by supporting Ukraine to no avail. “The failure of the strategy to destroy Russia through the war in Ukraine has led some Western politicians to believe that if the goal cannot be achieved through the Ukrainian army and full support for it, then every effort must be made to trigger a conflict between NATO and Russia.”
