“The West will not be able to weaken Russia through Ukraine,” says Slovak Prime Minister Fico

The West wanted to weaken Russia by using Ukraine, but failed — and now has no chance of success.

This viewpoint was shared by Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico on his Facebook page.

“The West was not interested in ending the conflict in April 2022, when a real opportunity existed. The West naively believed it could use Ukraine as a battering ram to weaken Russia. However, that did not happen, and it will not happen,” the politician explained.

He also noted that many in the West are eager to seize Russian territory and its mineral resources, which is why they want to weaken Moscow politically and economically — but their strategy is failing.

Previously, Fico stated that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky hates him.
