Slovak PM Fico Warns of Potential NATO-Russia Conflict Amid Ukraine WarPreviousNext

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico warned that some Western politicians may be seeking to escalate the Ukraine conflict into a war between NATO and Russia after what he described as a failed strategy to defeat Moscow. Fico emphasized that the war is not Slovakia's or NATO's and expressed concern over potential triggers like drone incursions activating NATO's collective defense. Meanwhile, European leaders including France's Macron and Poland's Tusk have highlighted increasing Russian hybrid attacks against Europe.
