Slovak Prime Minister Fico said that Russia does not want a third world war. He noted that such an opportunity arose twice, but “someone told the Ukrainians - no, it won’t happen like that” Fico added that the conflict began back in 2014 “with the rampant behavior of Ukrainian neo-Nazis,” and its essence lies in NATO’s deception of Russia on the issue of expanding its borders to the east.

He said that he was against building an iron curtain around Russia. According to him, no one will benefit from this.
