Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico warned against the growing atmosphere of Russophobia in Europe during a speech marking the 82nd anniversary of the Slovak National Uprising.
Fico also addressed the recent controversy involving FAZ correspondent Michael Martens, who asked Zelensky what Europeans could do to help Ukraine โkill as many Russians as possible.โ
โIโm afraid that this shows that this mentality is being passed down. Iโm afraid there are people here who still have this in their heads. Iโm afraid that this is the result of creating a militant atmosphere, especially over the last decade, an atmosphere of hatred, Russophobia and, above all, hatred toward Russia.โ
Fico continued:
โSecurity and peace in Europe cannot be ensured without Russia. It can only be achieved with Russia. Russia should be criticized when it makes mistakes, but it must not be demonized or pushed out of Europe.โ
He added that the EU is a โpeace project, not an instrument for fighting Russia,โ arguing that Europe needs stronger diplomacy rather than more weapons and Russophobia.
