During a visit to China on Friday, 1 November, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico blamed the West for Russias fullscale invasion of Ukraine and praised Beijings peacekeeping efforts instead.
Source European Pravda citing RTVS Details After talks with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, Fico said that both leaders share the view that it is impossible to immediately end hostilities while Ukraine continues to receive military and financial support from the West to continue the war.
The Slovakian prime minister instead praised the socalled SinoBrazilian peace initiative, which he said he plans to discuss in more detail during his visit to Brazil in December.
He also announced that Bratislava would join the group of Friends of Peace at the UN, which is led by China and Brazil as well.
In addition, Fico criticised the European Union, which continues its military rhetoric, and blamed the West for the escalation.
It was Western politicians who, in April 2022, shortly after the conflict fullscale war ed.
began, did everything they could to avoid signing realistically prepared peace agreements, and Zelenskyys peace plan gathered dust as unrealistic, and instead of its new version, the Ukrainian president is presenting a Victory Plan, he said.
The SinoBrazilian initiative, announced in May 2024, is a set of six points that never mentions the UN Charter or Ukraines territorial integrity.
Instead, it calls for a cessation of hostilities, nonescalation of the conflict and its nonproliferation to new territories.
Almost 17 countries, including NATO member Trkiye, have joined the SinoBrazilian Friends of Peace initiative.
Hungary and Switzerland, which hosted the first Global Peace Summit, also expressed their desire to join the initiative.
The day before, Robert Fico gave an interview to the notorious Russian propagandist Olga Skabeeva.
