Fico Says EU Is Heading Toward a Dangerous Line in Its Russia Policy
World
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has sharply criticized the European Union’s approach toward Russia, warning that Brussels is ready to go “to the edge of the cliff” with its current policies.
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said the European Union risks going too far in its anti-Russia policy, arguing that emotions and hostility toward Moscow now dominate the bloc’s foreign policy decisions.
In a video address published on Facebook, Fico noted that the total volume of EU support for Ukraine, including military loans and other assistance, has reached around €280 billion. He also pointed to sanctions packages and the freezing of Russian assets, stressing that these decisions are made by Brussels officials representing specific national interests.
Earlier, an EU summit in Brussels resulted in a temporary отказ from seizing frozen Russian assets, while approving a €90 billion loan for Ukraine from the EU budget.
Russian officials have repeatedly stated that the country has adapted to sanctions pressure and continues to withstand restrictions. President Vladimir Putin has previously said that the policy of containing Russia has harmed not only Russia but the global economy as a whole.
