路透11月21日 - 斯洛伐克議會周二確認了總理羅伯特·菲科的政府,支持一項政策議程,承諾停止對烏克蘭的國家軍事援助、緩慢減少預算赤字並征收新的銀行稅。

菲科在 9 月份的一場針對批評媒體、西方合作夥伴和自由主義政策的競選活動中獲勝,並於 10 月 25 日被總統祖紮納·卡普托娃第四次任命為總理。

菲科的執政聯盟由他的左翼社會保守黨 SMER-SSD 與一個規模較小的左翼政黨和一個小型民族主義政黨組成。

該聯盟上周通過了其政策計劃,議會在周二的信任投票中予以支持。

該計劃承諾對銀行利潤征收特別稅,並采取措施降低抵押貸款利率。 將對其他未指定行業的超額利潤征收特別稅。

它的目標是到2024年將一般政府赤字減少至GDP的0.5%。該國今年麵臨著歐元區最大的赤字,估計接近GDP的7%。

該計劃還納入了菲科的競選承諾,即在鄰國與俄羅斯的入侵作鬥爭時停止斯洛伐克對烏克蘭的官方軍事援助,並尋求停止敵對行動,同時承認烏克蘭的國際邊界。

它還重申反對終止歐盟成員國的國家否決權,或在更多領域實行多數投票。

反對派投票反對該計劃,理由是菲科攻擊獨立媒體,並解雇了調查新執政聯盟成員腐敗行為的高級警察官員。
 

斯洛伐克總理譴責西方對烏克蘭的戰略,稱俄羅斯“也需要安全保障”

馬丁·福努塞克 一月 10, 2024

斯洛伐克總理羅伯特·菲科在《真理報》1月9日發表的專欄中廣泛批評了西方對俄羅斯-烏克蘭戰爭的態度。

菲科於9月份在民粹主義、對烏克蘭持懷疑態度的政綱下當選,他停止了斯洛伐克軍事庫存的武器供應,並多次批評對烏克蘭的國防援助和對俄羅斯的製裁。

斯洛伐克政府首腦也被認為與匈牙利總理歐爾班維克托關係密切,而後者又被廣泛視為歐盟中最接近克裏姆林宮的領導人。

菲科在專欄中聲稱,西方戰略“失敗了”,沒有成功摧毀俄羅斯經濟,莫斯科繼續控製烏克蘭部分領土。

菲科承認俄羅斯在 2022 年發動全麵入侵違反了國際法,但他拒絕接受他所說的關於這場戰爭的“非黑即白的觀點”。

菲科寫道:“這場戰爭的根源在於2014年,烏克蘭的政治局勢與其俄羅斯籍公民有關。”

2014年,克裏姆林宮利用歧視烏克蘭俄語人口的虛假指控占領克裏米亞,並在頓涅茨克州和盧甘斯克州發動戰爭。

斯洛伐克總理再次批評西方對基輔的軍事援助,聲稱“烏克蘭無法進行有意義的反攻,因為它完全依賴西方的財政援助”。

菲科呼籲穩定歐盟與俄羅斯之間的關係,並補充說莫斯科“也需要其安全保障”。

雖然文章中間接攻擊了歐盟向烏克蘭提供 550 億美元資金的討論,但歐洲官員表示,菲科在 12 月峰會期間並不反對這筆援助。

多位專家指出,盡管言辭激烈,菲柯在實際行動上不太可能直接反對西方共識。 由於匈牙利的唯一反對,歐盟的援助仍然停滯不前。

菲科還寫道,如果基輔滿足所有入盟標準,他不反對烏克蘭加入歐盟。

在最近對西方團結的另一次攻擊中,布拉迪斯拉發沒有與近 50 個國家一起譴責朝鮮向烏克蘭部署彈道導彈的報道。

斯洛伐克外交部長尤拉伊·布拉納爾表示,在收到相關證據後,他準備譴責俄羅斯與朝鮮之間的軍事協議。

北約國家領導人稱西方“一再”誤判烏克蘭戰爭

斯洛伐克總理羅伯特·菲科表示,西方領導人在評估俄羅斯和烏克蘭之間的戰爭時“一再犯錯誤”,他在最近的一篇評論文章中寫道,基輔盡管獲得了數十億美元的軍事援助,但無法發動任何有意義的反攻。

斯洛伐克左翼Smer黨成員菲科周二在斯洛伐克《真理報》發表的一篇專欄文章中批評了其他北約國家,他寫道,西方針對俄羅斯侵略的“失敗戰略”正在“開始造成皺紋” 在我的額頭上。” 他還寫到拒絕“華盛頓或布魯塞爾所希望的”戰爭的“非黑即白的願景”,並將莫斯科的入侵歸咎於美國從2014年開始對基輔政府的影響。

菲科寫道:“俄羅斯違反國際法,在未經國際授權的情況下使用軍事力量,以應對安全局勢和烏克蘭加入北約的壓力。” “大國經常這樣做,讓我們看看美國在伊拉克取得了什麽成就。”

他補充道:“西方並沒有在 2022 年初立即盡一切努力實現快速停火,甚至沒有輸給烏克蘭十分之一,而是犯了一個巨大的錯誤。” “[西方]錯誤地將使用俄羅斯軍事力量視為讓俄羅斯屈服的機會。”

在十月份第四次被任命為斯洛伐克總理之前,菲科在競選時承諾結束斯洛伐克對烏克蘭的軍事支持,並多次批評西方對俄羅斯的廣泛製裁。 盡管自戰爭爆發以來布拉迪斯拉發堅定不移地支持基輔,但斯洛伐克政府在 11 月拒絕了菲科領導下向烏克蘭提供的 4300 萬美元的援助計劃,這可能標誌著該國的轉變。

菲科在專欄中寫道,他對自己的國家成為俄羅斯的“死敵”感到“不高興”,並表示盡管遭到大規模製裁,俄羅斯的軍事和經濟仍繼續生存。

“事實是無情的,”菲科寫道。 “俄羅斯在軍事上完全控製了被占領土,並試圖用煽動性手段讓國際社會相信俄羅斯士兵士氣低落和巨大的人員傷亡,這越來越表明自己是空洞的煽動性的一廂情願。”

這位斯洛伐克領導人還預測,西方對烏克蘭的持續軍事援助將“無濟於事”,並補充說,其影響將使歐盟“可能減少500億歐元……”,而烏克蘭的墓地“將因數千人死亡而更加擁擠”。 士兵。”

菲科繼續說道:“不幸的是,常識不會獲勝,盡管我們都被命令立即宣布休戰並坐在談判桌上。” “顯然,人力資源和金錢的徒勞浪費以及時間的流逝不會使俄羅斯的談判地位惡化,相反,它會加強它,因為幾年後國際社會也將開始組織撤退,當 看看現實。”

斯洛伐克總理:俄羅斯需要安全保障,烏克蘭無力發起新的反攻

https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/01/10/7436645/?

烏克蘭真理報 2024 年 1 月 10 日

斯洛伐克總理羅伯特·菲科批評西方對俄羅斯對烏戰爭的戰略,稱侵略國本身需要安全保障,而烏克蘭沒有能力進行全麵反攻。

資料來源:Fico,歐洲真理報在斯洛伐克報紙《真理報》的專欄中寫道

引用:“俄羅斯為了應對安全局勢和烏克蘭加入北約的壓力,違反了國際法,在沒有國際授權的情況下使用武力。大國經常這樣做。”

詳細信息:菲科指出,自俄羅斯在烏克蘭的戰爭開始以來,他拒絕了非黑即白的看法,並重複了俄羅斯宣傳中關於“壓迫說俄語的人”的陳詞濫調,據稱這些陳詞濫調導致了 2014 年的戰鬥,並且美國 對基輔有全麵的影響力。

在他看來,西方誤判俄羅斯使用武力是讓俄羅斯屈服的機會。

“西方將利用俄羅斯違反國際法的行為,向烏克蘭提供大量武器、數十億美元,對俄羅斯施加大規模製裁,攻擊俄羅斯主要礦產資源,等到最後一刻,烏克蘭士兵將帶來 這位斯洛伐克總理寫道,他是盤中的俄羅斯熊頭,其形式是軍事疲憊、經濟崩潰、國際孤立、國內政治受損的俄羅斯。”他補充說,他不同意西方的這一戰略。

他說,他不是那些對俄羅斯聯邦成為斯洛伐克的死敵感到高興的斯洛伐克政治家之一,他也不喜歡斯洛伐克因此被稱為俄羅斯的敵國。

“看到西方在評估俄羅斯局勢時一再犯錯誤,確實令人震驚。事實是無情的......烏克蘭沒有能力進行全麵的軍事反攻;它已經完全依賴西方的金融 援助在未來幾年會給烏克蘭人帶來不可預測的後果,”菲科說。

然而,他預測武器和資金將在未來一段時間內繼續流入烏克蘭——“但無濟於事”。

“顯然,人力資源和金錢的浪費以及時間的流逝不會使俄羅斯的談判地位惡化,反而會加強它,因為幾年後,國際社會也將開始組織撤退,審視現實, ”菲科說道。

正如他所說,“所有人都非常清楚”,烏克蘭危機沒有軍事解決方案。

菲科寫道:“如果我希望有一件事的話,那就是斯拉夫人停止出於地緣政治原因相互爭鬥,無論是來自美國還是俄羅斯方麵。”

斯洛伐克總理認為烏克蘭有權走自己的主權道路,而不是歐盟規定的道路:“如果它認為自己屬於歐盟,在滿足條件的情況下就讓它有這個機會。我們很樂意 幫助”。

同時他表示,俄羅斯也需要安全保障。

“我仍然認為,我們必須回到最近的歐洲言論,即歐盟和俄羅斯在某種程度上是相互聯係的,並且它們彼此需要。作為斯洛伐克共和國總理,我不會向任何國家散布敵意 菲科表示:“我希望歐盟成員國與俄羅斯之間的關係能夠逐步規範化。”

背景:

就任總理後,菲科確認不會像競選期間所說的那樣支持對烏克蘭的軍事援助。 他還反對歐盟對俄羅斯實施製裁,並希望阻止烏克蘭加入北約。

菲科在會見俄羅斯大使後表示,斯洛伐克應為烏克蘭戰爭結束後的時期以及斯洛伐克與俄羅斯關係正常化做好準備。

Slovak parliament confirms government promising to halt Ukraine military aid

Nov 21 (Reuters) - Slovakia's parliament confirmed Prime Minister Robert Fico's government on Tuesday, backing a policy agenda that promises to halt state military aid to Ukraine, slowly reduce budget deficits and impose a new bank tax.

Fico won an election in September on a campaign that took aim at critical media, Western partners and liberal policies, and was appointed prime minister for the fourth time by President Zuzana Caputova on Oct. 25.

Fico's governing coalition combines his leftist, socially conservative SMER-SSD party with a smaller leftist party and a small nationalist party.

The coalition adopted its policy programme last week, and parliament supported it in a vote of confidence on Tuesday.

The programme promises a special tax on banking profits and measures to cut interest rates on mortgages. Special levies will be designed for excessive profits in other unspecified sectors.

It aims for a reduction of the general government deficit amounting to 0.5% of GDP in 2024. The country is facing the euro zone's biggest deficit estimated at almost 7% of GDP this year.

The programme also incorporated Fico's campaign pledge to halt Slovakia's official military aid to Ukraine as its neighbour battles Russia's invasion and to seek a cessation of hostilities, while recognising Ukraine's international borders.

It also reiterated opposition to an end of national veto rights of European Union member states, or a move towards majority voting in more areas.

The opposition voted against the programme, citing Fico's attacks on independent media and dismissals of high police officials which had investigated members of the new ruling coalition for graft.

Slovak PM decries Western strategy on Ukraine, says Russia 'also needs security guarantees'

https://news.yahoo.com/slovak-pm-decries-western-strategy-165839718.html#:~:text=

Martin Fornusek  

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico broadly criticized the West's approach toward the Russia-Ukraine war in a column for the Pravda newspaper published on Jan. 9.

Elected in September on a populist, Ukraine-skeptic platform, Fico halted arms supplies from Slovakia's military stocks and repeatedly criticized both defense assistance for Ukraine and sanctions against Russia.

The Slovak head of government is also considered to be close to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who is, in turn, broadly seen as the most Kremlin-proximate leader in the EU.

In his column, Fico claimed that the Western strategy has "failed," saying it did not succeed in collapsing the Russian economy and Moscow continues to control parts of Ukrainian territory.

While acknowledging that Russia broke international law by launching its full-scale invasion in 2022, Fico rejected what he called a "black-and-white perspective" on the war.

"The war has its roots in 2014 and Ukraine's political situation in relation to its citizens of Russian nationality," Fico wrote.

The Kremlin used false accusations of discrimination against the Russian-speaking population in Ukraine to occupy Crimea and initiate the war in Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts in 2014.

The Slovak prime minister again criticized Western military assistance for Kyiv, claiming that "Ukraine is incapable of a meaningful counteroffensive, as it became fully dependent on financial assistance from the West."

Fico called for the stabilization of relations between the EU and Russia and added that Moscow "also needs its security guarantees."

While indirectly attacking the discussed $55 billion in EU funding for Ukraine in the article, European officials indicated that Fico did not oppose the assistance during a December summit.

Several experts pointed out that despite fiery rhetorics, Fico is unlikely to go in direct opposition to the Western consensus in practical steps. The EU aid remains stalled due to sole opposition from Hungary.

Fico also wrote he does not oppose Ukraine's membership in the EU if Kyiv meets all criteria for the accession.

In another recent jab at Western unity, Bratislava did not join the nearly 50 countries in denouncing the reported deployment of North Korean ballistic missiles against Ukraine.

Slovak Foreign Minister Juraj Blanar said he is ready to condemn military deals between Russia and North Korea after receiving relevant evidence.

NATO Country Leader Says the West Has 'Repeatedly' Misjudged War in Ukraine

Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico said that Western leaders have "repeatedly erred in assessing" the war between Russia and Ukraine, writing in a recent opinion piece that Kyiv is incapable of launching any meaningful counteroffensive despite receiving billions of dollars in military aid.

Fico, a member of the left-wing Smer party in Slovakia, criticized other NATO countries in an op-ed published by Slovak newspaper Pravda.sk on Tuesday, writing that the West's "failed strategy" against Russia's aggression is "beginning to cause wrinkles on my forehead." He also wrote about rejecting the "black-and-white vision" of the war that is "desired in Washington or Brussels," and blamed Moscow's invasion on the United States' influence on Kyiv's government, starting in 2014.

"Russia responded to the security situation and Ukraine's pressure to join NATO by violating international law, using military force without an international mandate," Fico wrote. "Big countries often do that, let's see what the US accomplished in Iraq."

"And the West, instead of immediately making every effort to achieve a quick ceasefire, at the beginning of 2022 without even losing a tenth to Ukraine, made a huge mistake," he added. "[The West] incorrectly evaluated the use of Russian military force as an opportunity to bring Russia to its knees."

Before being named Slovakia's prime minister for a fourth time in October, Fico campaigned on a promise to end his country's military support for Ukraine, and has repeatedly criticized the West's extensive sanctions on Russia. Despite Bratislava's unwavering support for Kyiv since the start of the war, Slovakia's government rejected a $43 million aid package to Ukraine in November under Fico's leadership, potentially signaling a shift in the country.

In his op-ed, Fico wrote that he was not "happy" that his country has been made a "mortal enemy" of Russia, and said that despite the massive sanctions, Russia's military and economy have continued to survive.

"The facts are inexorable," Fico wrote. "Russia completely controls the occupied territories militarily, and attempts to convince the international community with demagoguery about the demoralization of the Russian soldiers and the huge human losses are increasingly showing themselves as empty demagogic wishful thinking."

The Slovak leader also predicted that continued Western military aid to Ukraine will be "to no avail," adding that the impacts will leave the EU "perhaps 50 billion euros ... lighter" and that Ukraine's cemeteries "will be fuller by thousands of dead soldiers."

"Unfortunately, common sense will not win, although we are all ordered to immediately declare a truce and sit down at the negotiating table," Fico continued. "It is evident that the futile waste of human resources and money and the passage of time will not worsen Russia's negotiating position, on the contrary, it will strengthen it, because in a few years the international community will also begin to organize a retreat when looking at the reality."

Newsweek reached out to Ukraine's Foreign Ministry and the U.S. State Department via email for comment on Wednesday.

Slovak Prime Minister: Russia needs security guarantees, and Ukraine is incapable of new counter-offensive

Robert Fico, Slovakia's Prime Minister, has criticised the West's strategy for Russia's war against Ukraine, saying that the aggressor country itself needs security guarantees and that Ukraine is incapable of a full-fledged counter-offensive.

Source: Fico, in a column for the Slovak newspaper Pravda, European Pravda writes

Quote: "Russia has responded to the security situation and Ukraine's pressure [on its way] to join NATO by violating international law by using military force without an international mandate. Big countries often do this."

Details: Fico noted that since the beginning of Russia's war in Ukraine, he has rejected a black-and-white vision and repeated Russian propaganda clichés about the "oppression of Russian speakers" that allegedly led to the battles in 2014 and that the United States had total influence over Kyiv.

In his opinion, the West misjudged the use of Russian military force as an opportunity to bring Russia to its knees.

"The West will take advantage of Russia's violation of international law, supply Ukraine with a lot of weapons, billions of dollars, burden Russia with massive sanctions, attack Russia's main mineral resources, and wait until the last minute, that a Ukrainian soldier will bring him the head of a Russian bear on a plate in the form of a militarily exhausted, economically ruined, internationally isolated and domestically politically undermined Russia," the Slovak prime minister writes, adding that he does not share this strategy of the West.

He says he is not one of those Slovak politicians who are happy that the Russian Federation is being turned into a mortal enemy in Slovakia, and he does not like the fact that Slovakia is being called an enemy country in Russia for this reason.

"It is literally shocking to see how the West has repeatedly made mistakes in assessing the situation in Russia. The facts are inexorable... Ukraine is not capable of a full-fledged military counter-offensive; it has become completely dependent on Western financial aid with unpredictable consequences for Ukrainians in the coming years," Fico says.

However, he predicts that weapons and money will continue to flow into Ukraine for some time to come – "but to no avail".

"It is obvious that the waste of human resources and money and the passage of time will not worsen Russia's negotiating position, but rather strengthen it, because in a few years, the international community will also start to organise a retreat, looking at reality," Fico said.

As he said, "it is absolutely clear to everyone" that the crisis in Ukraine has no military solution.

"If there is one thing I wish for, it is for the Slavs to stop fighting each other for geopolitical reasons, both from the American and Russian sides," Fico wrote.

The Slovakian prime minister believes that Ukraine has the right to follow its own sovereign path, not the one dictated by the EU: "If it sees itself in the EU, let it have this chance if it fulfils the conditions. We will be happy to help".

At the same time, he said, Russia also needs security guarantees.

"And I continue to believe that we have to go back to the recent European rhetoric that the EU and Russia are somehow connected vessels and that they need each other. As the Prime Minister of the Slovak Republic, I will not spread hostility towards any country in the world, and I also wish for a gradual standardisation of relations between EU member states and Russia," Fico said.

Background:

  • After his appointment as prime minister, Fico has confirmed that he would not support military aid to Ukraine, as he said during the election campaign. He also opposes EU sanctions against Russia and wants to block Ukraine's accession to NATO.

  • After a meeting with the Russian ambassador, Fico said that Slovakia should prepare for the period after the end of the war in Ukraine and for the normalisation of Slovak-Russian relations.
