Putin's Ally Fico Shot Because He Stopped Sending Weapons To Ukraine; Slovakia Minister's Big Claim

Putin's Ally Fico Shot Because He Stopped Sending Weapons To Ukraine; Slovakia Minister's Big Claim

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico faced a critical assassination attempt by Juraj Cintula, a 71-year-old man with dissent against Fico's policies, particularly regarding arms shipments to Ukraine.

Fico's decision to halt arms deliveries after his election victory drew backlash, allegedly motivating Cintula's actions.

Described as a "lone wolf" with no extremist affiliations, Cintula's frustrations with government decisions may have been accelerated by the recent presidential election results.

Both allies and opposition leaders denounced the attack, highlighting its threat to Slovakia's democracy.

Cintula's background as a former security guard and poet adds complexity to the situation.

The incident occurred amid debates over the dissolution of Slovakia's public broadcaster, further heightening concerns about political stability.

Fico's condition remains serious as Slovakia awaits updates on his recovery.

Putin SHOCKS U.S? Russia and Iran Now Officially Allies, Ratify Nuclear Treaty to Defy Sanctions

Putin Iran treaty ratification marks a pivotal moment in Moscow-Tehran relations. Signed in January, the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement solidifies cooperation in national security, peaceful nuclear energy, and resistance to foreign sanctions. The move defies mounting pressure from Western powers, especially amid ongoing US-Iran nuclear tensions.

Trump and Zelensky Face Off at Pope Francis’ Funeral After Big Clash | Showdown at Pope’s Funeral? [Video]

Trump and Zelensky Face Off at Pope Francis’ Funeral After Big Clash | Showdown at Pope’s Funeral?

In a moment charged with geopolitical tension, U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky came face-to-face at the funeral of Pope Francis — their first public encounter since a major diplomatic clash over military aid and wartime accountability. The high-stakes meeting at St. Peter’s Square unfolded under the somber backdrop of a global farewell to the beloved pontiff, but all eyes were on the two leaders as they exchanged cold glances amid a sea of mourners. The funeral, attended by world dignitaries, spiritual leaders, and political heavyweights, became an unexpected stage for a symbolic showdown, as tensions between Washington and Kyiv remain high over the direction of the war effort and future U.S. support. While both leaders paid tribute to the pope’s legacy, their presence under one roof hinted at deeper divides — and possible diplomatic fireworks to come. #PopeFrancisFuneral #PopeFrancisDeath #TrumpZelensky #PopeFrancisLive #VaticanNews #PapalFarewell #FuneralLive #WorldLeadersAtFuneral #PopeFrancisLatest #PapalFuneral2025 #PopeFrancisHealth #TrumpVsZelensky #GlobalTributes #VaticanEvents #PopeFrancisLegacy Also Read How And Where Will Pope Francis Be Buried? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/how-and-where-will-pope-francis-be-buried-4130499.html?ref=DMDesc Cyril Ramaphosa Extends Condolences on the Passing of Pope Francis at Age 88 :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/south-african-president-ramaphosa-condolences-pope-francis-passing-011-4130473.html?ref=DMDesc Pope Francis: A 'Pro'-LGBTQ Progressive Pontiff Who Inspired Many While Unsettling Traditionalists :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pope-francis-a-pro-lgbtq-progressive-pontiff-who-inspired-many-while-unsettling-traditionalists-4130129.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~HT.336~GR.124~
