      Man, Orban beeing expelled in such an explosive manner really changed a lot in the European populist paradigm.

      Tbh we should get Ukraine just so Zelensky can be EU commissioner for defense.

      1st of May was kind of an “official” start to his 2027 election campaign. Bear in mind that even though his games are always present, the “official campaign” games have started

      E: not directed to OP, as he probably knows, but rather to others here

      Never thought id see this. Fico must be aware of Russia’s impending implosion.

      Other than Slovakia, what other EU country officially supports Ukraine’s EU membership?

      Really isn’t saying much. Ukraine is 10 to 15 years away from membership anyway, if everything goes well. Not a single chapter is closed and they all need to be done, to even be considered to officially join

      When Fico was betraying Ukraine everyone here not Slovak was literally yelling at their screen while typing: “KICK SLOVAKIA OUT OF THE EU!”

      But all you had to do was what we were doing: wait until the wind blows the other way. The man has a spine of grass.

      Fico is starting to feel scared. Good! Turmoil within, pressure from the EU, and no Orban to give him a sense of safety and support (and he knows how Putin treats his minions when they are no longer useful)

      Just for the gallery. He knows Ukraine won’t join EU anytime soon.

      The possible threat of cutting EU funds seems to have an effect.

      # Zelenskyy said they had invited each other to meet. Slovakia’s prime minister has backed Viktor Orbán’s isolated line on Ukraine, though less fervently than the outgoing Hungarian leader.

      Volodymyr Zelensky says that, after speaking to Robert Fico by phone, the Slovak prime minister will support Ukraine’s EU membership bid. He also reported that he had invited Fico to Kyiv, and that Fico had invited him to Bratislava, and that both had accepted the invitations.

      “We want strong relations between our countries, and we are both committed to that. It was important to hear that Slovakia supports Ukraine’s EU membership and is ready to share its own experience of the accession process,” the Ukrainian president wrote in a statement.

      In the meantime, it emerged that they will meet as early as Monday at the European Political Community summit in Yerevan, Fico announced on Saturday.

      However, in his Saturday statement, the Slovak prime minister did not mention what he had discussed with the Ukrainian president regarding Ukraine’s EU membership. The only detail he made public about what had happened was that, although he and the Ukrainian president do not see eye to eye on certain issues, Slovakia wants Ukraine to be a stable and democratic country, with which it maintains friendly relations.

      Up to now, Robert Fico has aligned with the outgoing Hungarian prime minister, Viktor Orbán, on Ukraine, even if he has not always joined him in blocking EU decisions. He nonetheless played a major role in the weeks-long stand-off over the Druzhba oil pipeline. Beating the Hungarian government to it, he suspended electricity exports to Ukraine and later, like the Hungarian government, also halted fuel shipments.

      Overall, Fico is trying to strike a balance between the commitments assumed within Western alliances and the pro-Russian electorate at home. In practice, this means he is pursuing a cautious, but not completely hostile, policy towards Ukraine.
