Slovakia’s Prime Minister Robert Fico was shot multiple times in an assassination attempt after a government meeting Wednesday and is in a life-threatening condition in hospital. The shooting took place after an off-site government meeting in Handlova.
Slovak officials have strongly criticized Ukrainian President Zelensky's decision to halt Russian gas transit through Ukraine, calling it a politically motivated move aimed at appeasing the West. According to the two Slovak politicians, this action is detrimental to smaller EU nations, including Slovakia, which are now facing energy shortages. With rising tensions and economic impacts on the EU, the move has sparked outrage and heated debates about the true cost of Western-aligned policies. Watch for an in-depth look at the controversy and the consequences for Europe’s energy future.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has endorsed Slovakia as a neutral venue for potential peace talks to resolve the Ukraine conflict. In a significant divergence from other EU nations, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has maintained a stance against supplying arms to Ukraine, positioning Slovakia as a possible mediator. Meanwhile, Putin remains firm on the “territorial realities” that Ukraine must accept, including the loss of key regions. As the world speculates on the future of negotiations, can Slovakia bring both sides to the table, or is this move another strategic play by Moscow?
