Protests erupted in Slovakia as thousands of citizens voiced their opposition to Prime Minister Robert Fico's pro-Russia stance. The demonstrations, which began in Bratislava and spread to various towns and cities, were triggered by Fico's recent visit to Moscow to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Organizers of the protests, including Lucia Štasselová from the Peace to Ukraine NGO, deemed Fico's meeting with Putin as 'unacceptable.' They criticized the Prime Minister for engaging with Russia while the world condemned Moscow's military aggression, particularly in Ukraine.
