According to Robert Fico, the European Union will not achieve real results with a strategy aimed at weakening Russia. He explained this position through firm statements regarding the Kremlin.
The Slovak Prime Minister believes that the European Union is not sufficiently promoting peace initiatives in its current policy. In his assessment, the main approach is built on the idea of weakening Russia through pressure.
Fico considers this strategy ineffective and wrong. He emphasized that the rhetoric of "bringing to their knees" applied to the Russian people does not yield real political results.
As an example, he cited a figurative saying about Russians, noting that their kneeling could only be related to everyday situations.
"That is exactly the problem. There is a strategy to 'bring Russia to its knees.' In my opinion, this is a bad and non-working strategy. The Russians say it very correctly: if we are on our knees, it is only because we are tying our shoelaces," says Fico.
Thus, Fico criticized European policy, stating that the strategy of keeping Russia under pressure through support for Ukraine will not work.
