Putin's Ally Fico Shot Because He Stopped Sending Weapons To Ukraine; Slovakia Minister's Big Claim

Putin's Ally Fico Shot Because He Stopped Sending Weapons To Ukraine; Slovakia Minister's Big Claim

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico faced a critical assassination attempt by Juraj Cintula, a 71-year-old man with dissent against Fico's policies, particularly regarding arms shipments to Ukraine.

Fico's decision to halt arms deliveries after his election victory drew backlash, allegedly motivating Cintula's actions.

Described as a "lone wolf" with no extremist affiliations, Cintula's frustrations with government decisions may have been accelerated by the recent presidential election results.

Both allies and opposition leaders denounced the attack, highlighting its threat to Slovakia's democracy.

Cintula's background as a former security guard and poet adds complexity to the situation.

The incident occurred amid debates over the dissolution of Slovakia's public broadcaster, further heightening concerns about political stability.

Fico's condition remains serious as Slovakia awaits updates on his recovery.

President Putin holds firm despite push from the U.S. – Is a peace deal possible?

U.S Special Envoy Steve Witkoff recently met Russian President Vladimir Putin in a bid to persuade Russia for a ceasefire deal in Ukraine. This was the 4th such meeting in just over 2 months, but there seems to be no breakthrough yet as Putin remains firm recognition of Russia's control over Crimea and the four regions under Russian control since 2022. With peace talks stalling, could a Putin-Trump summit be the only path forward? #UkraineRussiaWar #RussiaUkraineWar #Putin #Trump #UkraineConflict #UkraineCrisis #Warzone #Warzone #PeaceTalks #CeasefireTalks #Witkoff #Ceasefire #Crimea #Zelensky #Geopolitics #BreakingNews #USRussia

Trump’s Big ULTIMATUM to Ukraine, ‘Make Peace Or
’ Amid Failing Peace Talks | Russia Ukraine War

US President Donald Trump has claimed Ukraine could be “crushed very shortly” unless it agrees to peace talks with Russia. In an interview with The Atlantic, Trump said he’s trying to save Ukraine by pushing for negotiations, suggesting Moscow is open to a deal. He criticized Kiev’s stance, especially on Crimea, and hinted Zelensky was tougher to negotiate with than Putin. Meanwhile, Vice President Vance echoed similar concerns, and Secretary of State Rubio warned of the US abandoning talks if delays persist. Trump is also seeking a minerals agreement with Ukraine. #Trump #UkraineCrisis #RussiaUkraineWar #Zelensky #Putin #PeaceTalks #Kyiv #USPolitics #JDVance #MarcoRubio#TrumpAdministration #UkraineConflict #Geopolitics #MineralDeals #RussiaNews #BidenLegacy #Crimea #WorldNews #Diplomacy #BreakingNews ~ED.346~GR.122~HT.318~

Russia BLASTS West for Refugee Crisis: ‘Double Standards’ and Callous Neglect of Dying Innocents

In a powerful statement at the UN, Russia's Deputy Permanent Representative, Maria Zabolotskaya, condemned Western countries for their "double standards" in addressing the global refugee crisis. Highlighting the devastating impact of the Gaza conflict, she criticized the reluctance of Western nations to provide sufficient humanitarian aid to refugees, particularly those fleeing from war-torn regions like Syria, Afghanistan, and Sudan. Zabolotskaya also pointed out the hypocrisy in Western countries voicing concern over Ukrainian refugees while ignoring the plight of those seeking asylum in Russia. She called out the EU's failure to provide adequate support to refugees, especially those crossing the Mediterranean, and the deadly consequences of this inaction. With lives at stake and no accountability, the international community must confront the moral and legal crisis unfolding before our eyes. #RefugeeCrisis #Gaza #DoubleStandards #UN #HumanitarianCrisis #RussiaUN #MariaZabolotskaya #WesternHypocrisy #Refugees #InternationalLaw #GlobalPolitics #MediterraneanCrisis #Syria #Afghanistan #UkraineRefugees #SaveTheRefugees ~PR.274~HT.408~ED.102~GR.124~
