Comment: Up until a year or so prior to Russia's SMO, media outlets throughout the West had reported on Ukraine's 'Nazi problem', then, suddenly, the reporting stopped.
Details: Fico said on Facebook that the war started in 2014 because "Ukrainian neo-Nazis" were "rampant".
He said that the Russian Federation's military invasion of Ukraine is also partly serving to "mislead Russia into thinking that NATO will not expand further east".
Fico described Ukraine's possible NATO membership as an impetus for "the beginning of World War Three".
Still, Fico admitted that the invasion of Ukraine is a violation of international law.
Background:
- Following a meeting with Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico in Uzhhorod on 24 January, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said Slovakia would not block Ukraine from purchasing weapons and equipment from Slovakian firms.
- Before his visit to Ukraine, Fico made a number of scandalous statements. In particular, Fico said that Ukraine would have to give up part of its territory to Russia.
- The day before, when Russia launched a large-scale missile attack on Ukraine, particularly Kyiv, Fico said that life in the Ukrainian capital was "absolutely normal".
Comment: Fico has been extremely outspoken regarding the corruption and lies in Western politics, and as you can see in the interview posted below, he admits that in his defiance to not repeat the propaganda: Indeed it does appear that the West is now intent on significantly escalating the situation: Korybko: Russia's Avdeevka win will reverberate across Europe and accelerate geostrategic shifts
