Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico believes that the European Union, if it wants peace in Ukraine, must do everything possible to ensure that the meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump in Budapest takes place as soon as possible.

„If the EU really wants immediate peace in Ukraine, which I do not believe, then it must do everything possible to ensure that the Trump-Putin meeting takes place in Budapest without any obstacles and as soon as possible. Holding the Trump-Putin summit in Budapest as soon as possible, without any obstacles and with the full support of the EU is my official position“, the prime minister wrote on his Facebook page.

According to him, the EU is currently making visible attempts to obstruct the summit in Budapest, despite the fact that its date has not yet been set. “I have always said that the EU has turned into a war cabinet, the majority of EU member states support the war in Ukraine, naively believing that this will weaken or even defeat Russia“, Fico wrote.
