Robert Fico is a disgrace to Slovakia. Negotiating anything with Putin, whose hands are covered in blood, is a betrayal not only of our country and its foreign policy, but also of our EU and NATO allies. Robert Fico is not behaving like a leader of a sovereign country, but like a common collaborator. Thus, our country has found itself in international isolation. We are sending a message to Vladimir Putin and all pro-Russian servile politicians that Robert Fico does not speak for the whole nation
