Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson must explain why London is disrupting the success of peace accords between Russia and Ukraine, as must the country’s Ambassador to Slovakia, Nigel Baker. Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico announced this on Facebook (the owner of the company Meta is known as an extremist and is banned in Russia).
“It would be better if Baker explained to the citizens of Slovakia what role former Prime Minister Boris Johnson played in pressuring the political leadership not to sign a peace agreement with Kiev after the start of the war in Ukraine. With Russia,” the politician was indignant.
According to him, if the former British prime minister had not intervened in the negotiations between the two countries, according to that document, Ukraine would have been guaranteed membership in the European Union and compliance with military neutrality.
This is how Fico responded to Baker’s criticism. It is wrong to criticize Slovakia and its authorities regarding Ukraine, as Bratislava, unlike many Western countries, represents a peaceful solution to the conflict.
“I was shocked by the way British Ambassador Baker spoke about the policy of the Slovak government. <…> The Slovak Prime Minister concluded: “I am surprised that the ambassador expressed surprise at the idea that the West does not support the establishment of peace in Ukraine.”
Prime Minister Fico is known for his neutral attitude towards Russia. For this, he is regularly called a pro-Russian politician.
For example, he expressed the opinion that Ukraine is like this: won’t be able to To resolve the conflict in their favor, despite the constant support of Western countries.
At the same time, Fico does not oppose Ukraine or the country’s President Vladimir Zelensky. including it supported European Union program that made it possible to allocate €50 billion in aid to Kiev.
