Slovak Prime Minister Claims Moscow Trip Revealed US Plans to Buy European Energy Infrastructure
Share:
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico made unexpected statements in Liptovský Mikuláš following discussions on energy security, claiming he learned crucial information during his Moscow visit about alleged American intentions to purchase European energy infrastructure. Fico, who leads the ruling Smer-SD social-democratic party, has faced criticism for his recent diplomatic engagement with Russia amid ongoing tensions over Ukraine. Opposition lawmakers dismissed the claims, with one stating that the Slovak people gain nothing from Fico's visits to Moscow. The statements come as Slovakia grapples with energy security concerns, particularly regarding natural gas supplies that have traditionally flowed through Ukraine from Russia.
