"Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico's Moscow Visit: Energy Concerns and Shifting European Alliances"


Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico made a surprise visit to Moscow to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin, marking a rare encounter between a Western leader and the Russian leader since the Ukraine war began. Fico, a critic of the European Union's stance on Ukraine, emphasized the discussion about Slovakia's reliance on Russian gas and the upcoming expiration of a key energy deal with Gazprom. He also addressed the broader military situation in Ukraine, suggesting the possibility of a peaceful resolution. Fico noted that he informed EU officials about his trip and the nature of the talks beforehand, positioning the visit as a response to Ukrainian resistance to Russian gas transit through its territory.


Ficoā€™s return to the political stage has brought a shift in Slovakiaā€™s foreign policy, with his government ending military support to Ukraine in October 2023. Despite his more pro-Russia stance, Fico has maintained that Slovakia remains a "good, friendly neighbour" to Ukraine, even while seeking to balance energy security concerns. His meeting with Putin coincided with a security summit in Europe, where leaders from Italy, Sweden, Greece, and Finland warned of Russiaā€™s ongoing threat to the EU and called for stronger defense and continued support for Ukraine.
