, he will support ukraine, from where. or optimism, well, the optimism lies in the fact that slovakia , no matter what, is a european country that has chosen western civilization, will be part of the western club for almost 20 years, next year it will be 20 years since it is already a member of the european union, and for 20 years, she has been a member of nato, that is, she has anchored herself, slovakia, in western structures, this is the first thing, the second thing is that it is a country that even in visegrad is distinguished by the fact that for example, poland, the czech republic and hungary have their own currency units, and slovakia has had the euro for 14 years already. slovakia is a member of schengen, so in the western club, as stoltenberg said, it will continue to sit at the table in nato, and no matter how pro-russian statements there are by robert fitz there or other politicians, it is still a country, although by the way , it is younger than ukraine, i will remind you that slovakia was born on january 1, 1993, it is younger than ukraine by a year and a half, but no le

slovakia has already given most of what it can spare.s the first country to provide ukraine with fighter jets and air defense missiles. so, do you agree that the impact on the ground in ukraine via slovakia will not necessarily change? guest: i think the issue of arms is a key one. as you mentioned, most of the nato members actually depleted their stocks of arms that they had available, to send to ukraine. they are running out. there was just a defense forum in kyiv at the weekend where they are talking about manufacturing. the e.u. promised $1 billion to invest into new production. so there is a cry or brewing in ukraine, they are running low, and consequently, they have to get these arms from somewhere, by setting up more production. and the stocks remaining are the residual stock they need to protect themselves in case this were escalates and it becomes nato and russia, which is at the a confrontation between nato and russia, which is at the the back of everybody's mind. so ukraine is in a difficult position trying to source these arm

slovakia has always been, or has traditionally been , a pro-russian country.entral europe, and maybe even throughout europe, with the exception of belarus, of course. typically, every 2 years a foreign policy survey is conducted by a foreign agency, usually a us agency, in several countries about foreign policy and usually one question. goes like this: if there was an international crisis, from which country would you expect the most help and support for your country? in our case for slovakia, and russia is always relatively in the lead in this poll, neither the usa nor germany, russia relatively wins, and this has not changed over the years. as for the pro-russian sentiments in slovakia, this is obvious, here i would also like to note two facts that we cannot... the first fact is that slovakia is one of the leading, one of the leading states in the energy industry, this needs to be understood, this also the legacy of czechoslovakia, this suggests that they can really produce good types of weapons, in particular sau, zuzana, zuzana 2 and so on on the tatra cha

in our case for slovakia. and russia always relatively in the lead in this matter. has not changed over the years. as for pro-russian sentiments. here i would also like to note two facts that we cannot keep silent about, the first fact is that slovakia is one of the leading, one of the leading states in the military industry, this must be understood, this is also the legacy of czechoslovakia, this indicates that that they can produce really good types of weapons, in particular sau, zuzana, zuzana 2 and so on, on the tatra chassis and other chassis, yes, we need to take this into account, so the first thing i would like to note is that since the quasi state of ukraine and its curators are waging an asymmetrical war, let’s figure out what it is by options such, these are... murders, sabotage raids, destruction of infrastructure facilities, critical infrastructure, then russia simply must not wait for a window of opportunity, with all due respect , colleague, but it should also be in europe, not to mention looking, it has already found its allies in ideology, and these

slovakia has always been, or has traditionally been, a pro-russian country.e exception of belarus, of course. typically, a survey is conducted every 2 years by foreign agencies, usually us agencies. in several countries about foreign policy and usually one question is: if an international crisis occurred, from which country would you expect the most help and support for your country, in our case for slovakia, and russia always relatively in the lead in this poll, neither the usa nor germany, russia relatively wins, and this has not changed over the years, as for the pro-russian sentiment in slovakia, this is obvious. here i would also like to point out two facts that we cannot keep silent about, the first fact is that slovakia is one of the leading, one of the leading states in the construction industry, this must be understood, this is also the legacy of czechoslovakia, this means that they can produce really good types of weapons, in particular sau, zuzana, zuzana 2 and so on, on the tatra and other chassis, yes, we need to take this into account, so the fi

which is currently taking shape in germany and slovakia.pean things in general space, our common european home, from the collapse, from the chaos into which we are being intensely dragged, having provoked the modulation of everything, this whole situation that germany is in now, in which all countries are. of course, having in their hands the media, the education system, all other institutions of influence and control, the multiglobalists believed that no one and nothing could resist them, and now they understand that after all, natural, natural instinct, human, folk, uh, the craving for self-determination, for sovereignty, for freedom, is beginning to break through, these... we see the latest hysterical attempts to stop this movement, unfortunately, in relation to my good friend, tina kupalo, you know, naturally, we see that mr. fitz has already been dubbed, as soon as he was not called pro-russian, a puppet of the kremlin, in fact there is no division, these are all cliches, there is no division into pro-russian, anti-russian politicians

dear friends, we are returning to the ether and now we will talk about the elections in slovakia and what these elections bring to us, to us ukrainians, dmytro tuzhanskyi, director of the institute of central european strategy, expert on ukrainian-hungarian. relations, mr. dmitry, we welcome you, good afternoon, we had one orban, now there are two orbans, and it’s not, and why, in both cases, it’s not so dangerous, okay, tell me that it's not so dangerous, because everyone was already a little scared, and this slovakian orban made some such statements that, you know, they don't know how to react to them, he says that the ukrainian fascists started the war, not the russians. and everything else is different, but in this they are really similar, viktor orbán and robert fitzu can of course compete in the number and content of these, i don’t know, absurd statements, they are more absurd than actually pro-russian, but otherwise they are relatively similar, never robert fidson did not have and will not have such power as viktor orban has been in hungary continuously since 2010, and it does

i'm emily, i'm going. slovakia is full. my left is prime minister robot feed, so has one sad today's parliamentary election. he stood on a platform, critical of the a, you know, so and funding the war and ukraine is potty one. nearly a quarter of the vote and a chance to form the next government. if he succeeds, it could main big changes for the nation's foreign policy since russia launched as war last year. and i remember, as the bank here has supported ukraine, supplying weapons and welcoming refugees. boss, is that about to change? we're putting back to our guests shortly. first. this report from when we consume sherry, the 3 time form of prime minister staging a political come back into the walk. yeah. so what fits those left is faulty, defined, except both inside these problem entry election secured in nearly 23 percent of the vote. on a pro russian, an anti us campaign. the populace leader has doubled down on his stone. so in the military, a to ukraine and is now calling for the toughest and the role. so there's quite

let's take a quick look at where slovakia is located. the former soviet bloc communist nation is now a member of both the e u and 9. so it shows a border with ukraine and with poland, which has played a major role in efforts to supply weapons to ukraine since russia invited to the south is hungry, whose late of the old bon has welcomed 5th. so is when sharing some of his policies let's bring in august, now we and brought his lava is elena, could scar, the vice president of policy and programming of gloves, sick, a public policy, sink tank, and berlin and bin iris found an editor in chief of b and e in telling news is also the form of moscow bureau chief for the daily telegraph and also and brought his love up. have all the dimensions of the form is still voc in a full foreign minister and advise it to the bank. is the 1st president after the breakup of czechoslovakia, a warm welcome to all of you, and thank you for joining us on the program. before we look at the broad, a geo political implications of the selection. i wonder if those get

is skepticism, they are against moscow, but skepticism about brussels, now slovakia, where can thereabout brussels too, but still friendship towards moscow , hungary, which is always active cabinet, expressed herself the way she did, everyone knows that this is some kind of trend. of eastern-central-eastern europe, i apologize for the taftology, this is a trend, now ukraine will be surrounded, in the circle of such not very pro-ukrainian forces or politicians, please, well, paraphrasing karl marx, you can say that a ghost is roaming around central europe, the ghost of populism, but i think that poland, despite the problems in relations with brussels, it does not... its support for ukraine, i think that this is a historical, in fact, direction poles made their choice a long time ago, and i think that in this regard, ukraine probably has no point in worrying, poles, regardless of who will be in the government, whether it will be such a right-wing party pis or it will be a centrist civil platform poland. i think that ukraine will always be supported, but in slovakia now , unfortunately,

it is these countries, well, in slovakia it is a little different, in slovakia, there was even sentimentecause slovakia was quite a poor region, and it was during the socialist period that they began to develop, in particular, they invested there in defense, industry, and so on , and by the way , most of the communist leaders of czechoslovakia were slovaks, that is, in them precisely this period, unlike the czechs, is not perceived as absolute evil, but rather ambiguously, and only now they have begun to leave it, with hungary, well, a little differently, here it is interesting that orbán came under these slogans, he did speeches about those heroes who died defending the country from the soviet union , but he was somehow able to cheat when this radical desire to be friends with russia was first pushed to another party for a job, and we are more pragmatic, and then when a job put well, friendly to ukraine, well, something has already happened, the propaganda has already worked to the full, they have lost. this moment of this transition, yes, mr. stanislav, but i would like to hear your op

, former minister of finance of slovakia. he said yes, very bad news for ukraine, and even worse news for slovakia itself. 59-year-old robert fico, leader of the smer party, the direction or course of social democracy, is a classic viktor orbán-like pro-russian populist. he campaigned on anti-ukrainian notes, in particular he said that no weapons should be supplied to ukraine, and he said yes, the slogan was, no cartridges, no cartridges for ukraine. i urge you to impose some on ukraine unfavorable peace negotiations with russia already now and says that russia will still not leave the occupied territories and crimea, against ukraine's membership in nato, i consider ukraine's membership in the european union to be an illusion. opposes anti-russian sanctions by the european union, in general, before the very elections that took place on saturday, september 30, he generally agreed with what he said he saw some nazis and fascists in power in kyiv, that is, such a classic pro-russian populist, but it is not guaranteed that robert

let's start with the situation in slovakia.advisers to the prime minister. ukraine, 16-19 years old. good evening good evening. ok, you hear us. mr. ivan , let me tell you a little about it, let me know that maybe someone, no, is not aware of this situation, the russian embassy in slovakia has published a statement in which it rejects the accusations of the ministry of foreign affairs of the country towards russia, regarding choice intervention. these accusations were made after the director of the foreign intelligence service, ryshin, said that the elections in slovakia were not democratic, i will not quote, elections were held in slovakia on september 13, 30 and the opposition party won, the sd led by former prime minister robert phytso. it's short. in your opinion, what role did russia play in the results , but it is important to note here that fitz has repeatedly expressed his anti-ukrainian sentiments and threatened to stop aid. yes, i am i think that russia played its role, but immediately before the elections, but for a

the political situation in slovakia shows the consequences of a long term. this information campaign expos, say russian efforts to manipulates democracies, will continue and even increase. they keep affecting european nations unless the west takes action. the depression, bipolar disorder, mental health issues like these as the and asked about topics in many african societies, you'll african. so struggling with that mental health i left to their own devices in the past. uh, people have stuck to these misconceptions about mental health that mental illnesses occurs or, you know, it's the one positions the 77 percent next on dw, this 10 will people be able to survive is a big one on the ground underneath this metropolis of $16000000.00 is a size making hotspot, geologist say that your test or fee is overdue, and that inhabitants are in grave danger. is there a way out to stand on the brink in 45 minutes on the w. shannon with 12 or emphasizing the award winning offer is available worldwide. every language level reading, jasmine has never been since june in chica

let me add very clearly that while resolutely working to protect state interests of slovakia. foreign affairs will no longer express other people's interests, the slovak ministry of foreign affairs will represent the interests of the republic, slovak foreign policy will be pursued, emphasized robert fica. and with us now. communications, igor bratchikov, ambassador extraordinary plenipotentiary of russia to the slovak republic, igor borisovich, welcome you, anatoric, good morning, igor borisovich, please tell me, here is the wording that mit slovakia will no longer, accordingly, express other people's interests and will express slovak ones interests, in your opinion, does this wording mean that before this, slovakia’s ministry of defense did not meet the interests of the country and expressed someone else’s interests. firstly, i would like to note that today a new government of slovakia will indeed be appointed, which will consist of three political parties, this is the direction of slovak social democracy, by the way, i would draw attention to the fact that this is a party th

and of course the supports of ukraine including slovakia. and that's regardless of how the selection plays out. one supports closed expense projections are released. the next year is due to the liberals or inspect the hat, but matching the quite see cool, represents the party in the european parliament remains cautious. the site looks positive, but it's still on the exit clue. so we'll have to see the final results. but it also very humbling. i have to say after months and months of work and campaign which was sadly, also quite, i don't want to dominate the thought, the slide polluted by. lots of new fi formation and that's a 2 and hybrid more by 3rd 5. these meanwhile snare party, headquarters populous candidates, robots feed, so ease in speaking to the media. the projections are on what he hoped for. but as denied goes on things take a turn. as more votes are counted, it becomes clear that's feed, so strategy will win him the election of the next day, he appears to williamson before the press. he announces what lies have including talks on

i can't say slovakia, although i know from other conversations, which i deduced, that slovakia alreadyphetic moods, maybe i will remember from history, when our ukrainian refugees fled from the soviet army to the west in 1944, they were received quite coldly in slovakia , because they believed that the russians should do something bad, because as morsians they can do something bad when they are brothers, it is difficult for me to say something here, i understand that slovakia is divided, i do not think that slovakia, at least from the fact that i hear that i see that slovakia is not, relatively speaking, hungary, there is not such a majority as orbán has, it is divided, the situation is most likely, let's say, rather the weight of the balance, which is swaying, we do not know how long the fico regime will hold on, because we would have hope for what happened: poland, for me, poland is much more important and the change of power in poland is much more important than the change in slovakia, but here you know, i can't comment on anything more, unfortunately i know slovakia very poorly, bu

this is the headquarters of progressive slovakia and liberal pro european party. its candidates has space, especially tough campaign and text, including this deep stake media, which made to my peer to announce a massive rise in deer prices. the dust is because we send you 20 by a day and the drastic increase in beer prices will be one of the 1st things a government led by us will implement a t thought i have a lot of naturalist programs. even influence comes out of you. it was a clumsy fate, but me has she matched golf? progressive slovak yeah, takes the issue seriously. what has to be? what would you do to contract? well, what we do well try to this me refutes that, which is an obvious slide. no, be slower against our party, but most importantly, we're trying to run a positive campaign from the very start, we're trying to talk about the kind of positive vision for the country. then we that we envisage in our manifesto. when election day finally arrives, voters weight in long lines to custard, alex many reckless lava seem to be worried about the direction in which

what a signal the voting results in slovakia will be for everyone. european union.roduction is growing new housing is being built, north ossetia is changing for the better, the region is becoming more and more attractive for tourists. what did the head of the republic say again to the president of russia? and nagorno-karabakh was empty. the press calls stepanok a ghost town. refugees are being provided with assistance in yerevan. baku promises to guarantee the remaining armenians their rights. what tasks are our peacekeepers facing now? the russian armed forces successfully repelled new attempts to attack the ssu. according to our defense department, in one day ukraine lost more than 60 military personnel. this is only on the krasnolimansky sector of the front. so it happens all the time. kyiv suffers hundreds of losses every day. they are trying to compensate for failures on the front line with attacks on civilian infrastructure. the situation on the line of contact in the rear areas. in reports. please report the situation and only after such an answer we move to

u slovakia and the people of the country have more serious problems than ukraine.for now. we believe that ukraine is a great tragedy for everyone. fitz's party has 14 days to form a government. after that the mandate will be transferred to other parties, namely the pro-western progressive slovakia, which took second place. daria grigorov and anton chegaev, news from bratislava. an alarming discovery and growing threat about the wording of a financial times article about ukrainians hospitalized in hospitals in europe, and as it turned out, demonstrates frightening resistance to the action of conventional drugs. we are talking about ukrainian militants, so-called refugees. yesterday. organisms for various reasons got one or another infection, someone could pick up bacteria after being wounded at the front, others became infected in civilian life, and it would seem that in most cases, drug treatment should, if not immediately put the patient on his feet, then at least least to give at least some effect, but those in the know, according to western doctors, stand apart,

the progressive party of slovakia is faced with an unprecedented campaign of disinformation. slovakia has become flooded with the far right, as well as pro-kremlin sources. it is clear that brussels is most concerned about the fate of military support for ukraine. politics can cause. the eu has a headache making it difficult to provide military assistance to ukraine. if fitz succeeds in forming a government, it will be even more difficult for the eu and nato to reach an agreement. fitz criticizes the general foreign policy of the eu; he is against arms supplies to ukraine and agrees to sanctions against russia only if they do not harm slovakia itself. the third probable coalition partner for the sns course is the slovak national party. this is the right one the political force received 10 seats in parliament, just as the sns course is against supplies. ukraine, one of the newly elected deputies mikhelko told us about this. slovenian has nothing to give away, the s30 is coming soon. slovakia has nothing left to give, we gave away migs, s-300s, in fact, the only thing we have a

slovakia has no reason. interests one millimeter, for this there is absolutely no slovakia above the interests of the eu and nato, western media first dubbed him pro-russian, and now they themselves are looking for the hand of the kremlin. the european commission has already joined this company. the deputy chairwoman, czech vera jourová, questioned the transparency of the slovak elections. slovenian chelilo. the progressive slovak party is facing an unprecedented disinformation campaign. we see how the information space in slovakia has become flooded with far-right, as well as pro-kremlin sources. it is clear that brussels is most concerned about the fate of military support for ukraine. fitz's policies could cause headaches for the eu and complicate military assistance to ukraine. if fitz succeeds in forming a government, it will be even more difficult for the eu and nato to reach an agreement. fitz criticizes the eu's common foreign policy, he against arms supplies to ukraine. and agrees to sanctions again

about slovakia has been a strong support of you create on one hand. but this may a potties coming with the new agenda and say, well with, with the agenda and the campaign is that we're going to stop a fund or supply or weapons to you create. what do you think was responsible for the way the people thought differently? this time around the robot fico, who used to be prime minister already about 10 years ago. so he is someone who understands way about the mechanisms of how the people are taking. and so he was listening carefully to his paper and that's why he run the campaign of saying we do provide humanitarian. they both not just any longer, and that will shift the stamps. the entire european union is taking because also be in germany. we don't want that, i mean 80 percent of the population in opinion post continuously say we don't want to engage in any military evey in that conflict and we don't want to supply the arms. so here you say a small country like slovakia, who's taking a democratic vote is changing also the rest of europe. but that's what i

robert fitz will no longer rule slovakia.the glaz party, also a former prime minister of the country, by the way, a native of the party, peter pellicrini, glaz finished third, with a smaller gap from progressive slovakia than expected; during the election campaign, pellegrini said that the line was still closer to him, which fitsu announces, but he also made it clear that he is open to negotiations, in particular now the slovakian... the media are saying that he is ready to support the liberals, but in exchange for the position of prime minister of the country, speaking after elections, the politician actually called his party the key to the successful formation of a government. indeed, the distribution of seats confirms that it is the vote that is the party, without which no normally functioning government coalition can be created. if you ask me if we prefer any combination or coalition: i want to say that no, commenting on the result of these elections, the western media are saying that we should now expect the formation of

for example, in the field, if we want to examine a country like slovakia, the country of slovakia hadctually found a trade deficit, following the war in ukraine in the last two years, and this issue is actually the main dissatisfaction of the citizens of the union. europe has become, in addition, there are actually consequences that this issue can have, and in fact, the main route was actually sending heavy weapons to ukraine, this issue will definitely cause many consequences for the continuation of the ukrainian war. complete from in fact, the triangle of slovakia, mazaristan and poland. now, after two weeks, when the elections in poland will be decided , it seems that the main challenge will be the european union to continue supporting the war. thank you, mr. bagheri , and stay with us. regarding the polish elections, which, as you mentioned, will be held in two weeks , i had a conversation with mr. noor bakhsh . let's see mr. noor bakhsh's answer from his analysis about the polish elections. the month corresponds to october 15 we will hold general parliamentary elections in this c

zuzanna chaputova, president of slovakia. is all this a manifestation of the west's so-called fatigue with ukraine? which ultimately can lead to a sharp reduction in aid and forcing kyiv to negotiate with moscow on unfavorable terms, because that is exactly what putin is betting on. according to many observers, the risks of such a scenario are now much higher than a year ago. at that time, there was also a lot of talk about fatigue from ukraine, but the lightning counteroffensive in the kharkiv region and the liberation of kherson prompted the west not only to continue, but also to increase support. the summer-autumn military campaign of this year has not yet been completed, but it is quite... decent that according to its results, ukraine will not be able to liberate significant territories, which means that the voices of skeptics and fake peacekeepers will sound louder and louder. so, whether the west's position and approaches to providing full and comprehensive assistance to ukraine in the war with russia are changing, we w

the business beyond the this is dw news live from berlin. exit polls in slovakia is parliamentary elections show the pro western progressive slovakia party is set to win by a small margin but its closest arrival is the party of former prime minister robert feats. so he wants to end military support for ukraine. also coming up, the legislature is in the us house of representatives, pass a stop gap measure to american a partial shot die of the government for the temporary budget solutions still has to pass the senate and does not include new funding for ukraine and in the industry got 2 of germany's top sites based off as like st coasted fire and we'll bring you the best of saturdays, football action, and more in our sports right down the hall. welcome to the show exit polls in slovakia is parliamentary elections show a tight race but indicate that the centrist progressive slovakia piracy is set to when it is led by the vice chairman of the european parliament, michelle she much comp their biggest rival is the party of former prime minister robert feats so who has called for an interest with

the parliamentary elections in slovakia were won by a party that openly opposes military support forrts have already called this political triumph a necessity that will allow europeans to emerge from the destructive conflict. our european correspondent legina sevastyanova followed the elections. she. joins, regent, good morning, tell me, what is the first reaction to the voting results? good morning alexander, the media here is saying that the results of this election could be terrible consequences for the entire eastern european region, for example, cnn says that the victory of the smer party in the slovak elections could have serious consequences for the entire eastern european region, especially in the issue of the ukrainian conflict, because the previous slovak government advocated tough... russian sanctions and for a significant amount of assistance to the ukrainian armed forces, but the leader of the winning party, the potential prime minister of slovakia, robert fitze opposes assistance from kiev, believes that the conflict with moscow was provoked, echoes cnn journalist, and

the results of the elections in slovakia jeopardize military support for kiev, said french politician florian philippot; according to him, the number of opponents of sponsoring ukraine is growing. the european commission is confident that the opposition in slovakia won only thanks to. information, what this is what they fear in the west, says regina sevastyanova. the smer party , which gained the title of pro-russian in the western media, not only became the winner of the elections, it significantly exceeded the result that was promised to it by opinion polls on the eve of the elections, and of course, the results of exit polls, which generally put liberal progressive slovakia in first place, a result according to about which the western media in brussels expressed concern in advance, since bratislava would turn into a second budapest, for election promises, including from military assistance to ukraine and blocking the country's application to join nato, robert fitz was dubbed the second orban, a disturber of peace and unity in the european union. the leader of the hungarian governme

i will limit myself to one sentence: slovakia and the people in slovakia have bigger problems than ukrainesuch a statement comes from the former prime minister of slovakia robert fico, his pro-russian party smarezdi on won the parliamentary elections, receiving almost 23% of the votes. voters ukraine is a huge tragedy for everyone. we will do everything possible to speed up the peace talks on the platform of the european union. we are ready to provide humanitarian aid to ukraine. we are ready to help in the restoration of the state itself, but you know our opinion about arming ukraine. people in slovakia have their own serious problems, and these serious problems are a priority for us. fico, as the leader of the party that won the most support in the elections for the country's president. instructed to form the government. during her speech, zuzana chaputova said: the task of the new government will be to silence social contradictions. even if politics divides us, we must respect each other as human beings. the outcome of the election will not change our values , and i believe that it will

"there is no single minority party in slovakia, this means that mr. fico or fizo has the opportunity to form a coalition government, and he will clearly in the coming days and weeks, be reaching out to the many small parties in slovakia to try to achieve a parliamentary majority. his victory uh informing cabinet is not assured. moreover, what compromises he may have to make." on his key points, which you have mentioned, better relations with russia, and to sanctions and no further military assistance to to ukraine, how much of this will get through the negotiating process with coalition partners is not yet clear, nonetheless it is of ground make of ground breaking importance that a nato country in central europe, a country that has known very well the experience of um soviet occupation uh for the cold war period, has made this dramatic show in favor of normal relations with russia and against the eu and nato policies that mr. fizo says, are undermining national sovereignty. what do you think about the unity that exists, greg simmens, or maybe a unity

in any case , slovakia faces long and difficult negotiations on a government coalition.evanova, matvey popov and dmitry naida, european bureau of vgtrk. polish prime minister mateuszki called on ukraine to be grateful for the fact that the country has sheltered millions of refugees under its roof. his words are quoted by local media, and he also called on kiev not to trust germany, since, according to him, the country will always try to achieve. agreement with russia. this is not very good for the western allies like. russia is taking steps to introduce a visa-free regime with all of latin america. this was stated by the director of the foreign affairs department , alexander shittinin, at the russia-latin america conference. it takes place in moscow. varvara nevskaya found out what else was discussed today. more than 200 participants from the south american continent and the caribbean . this format is passing. for the first time , moscow hosts the international parliamentary conference russia-latin america. and i am confident that our cooperation with the countries of ce

so says slovakia has bigger problems than the war and ukraine certainly. but at any point, we are willing to help in the distortion of the state itself, but you know, of their own opinion on army. you can, i'm very sorry that the entire election from the perspective of this look and media was about whether or not people to send weapons to you put in, you know, sort of these election, but not about that, but, and still walk you, i'll have to on so you just problems and these are priorities. and earlier today is brussel 0 chief alexander phenomena told us more about what rubber feed, so set as well in his press conference here at his party's headquarters that we are still at his body's headquarters. he and brought to his loud i missed if he'd so made clear that he's ready to start to talk with potential call listen partners . and he also said he's just waiting for a traditional phone calls from the president because he has the mandates for a new government. i don't know whether you can hear it, but apparently there is a process to outside of the party headqu

in slovakia in 2nd place was progressive slovakia they had around 18 percent of the vote. that translates to $32.00 seats. and then the 3rd largest policy is tell us with 15 percent of the vote, translating into $27.00 seats. but what could be key here is either a thought food policy joining forces with smith. and there is a chance of that given that the lead of how last is a full month's, be a member himself. and they do have very similar philosophies or also joining up to with the katie 8 jesus christians, democratic movement. all this move on national policy all have campaigned on some of the similar value. so traditional values advocating against us through the right school, l g, b, t, individuals, a talking about no, all mean ukraine will in feet, just a new fact. that's something that will work for you to actually touchstone in a press conference in the last hour. he 1st will set his priority with slovakia. he talked about the economy. it talks about getting not right to talked about new or the issues in society. and he was pressed by a couple of journalists at that

slovakia was poland, and i will say this, it was first of all the government of eduard geger, who was unequivocal in supporting ukraine's position regarding this war, and we have robert fico, and here we need to explain some very important nuance, because you know, fico won these elections, because he took away the votes of the radical right such neo-nazi parties in slovakia, republic, there is a party of kotlebu, who did not enter the parliament, he won the election, yes with a new voter, there is about a third of the new voter, with whom he was able to work, to get support, this is the neo-nazi right, the radical parties of slovakia, and here... the specificity of the slovak nationalism, where this scheme of slovak nationalism really is, it differs from, say , polish, or perhaps ukrainian nationalism, yes, because if the poles, they were looking for partners and allies in the past, yes, they were looking for partners allies against berlin, against moscow, they were found in paris, in london, in washington. when the slovaks were looking for allies in the past, they were looking for a

yevhen, can we say that these elections in slovakia are a kind of, unfortunately, trend of decreasingttention to ukraine in europe. if we proceed from this logic, then we have parliamentary elections in april 2022 hungary, which was won by the well-known viktor orbán and the fide party formed a constitutional majority, should generally be perceived as a complete tragedy for us, but after that there were many various victories, including foreign political ones, and the same hungary voted to grant ukraine the status of a candidate for membership in the european union, let's not forget that too, so ... i think this show of will is a consequence of the changes and the situation in slovakia, i think it's evidence that fico's team has done a better job than the current government, well for today moment, especially since there was now a technical government, and you know, if we recall the background of this situation, we recall that edward geger resigned. due to problems within the team, and four years ago in the 19th year , new faces also came to power in slovakia, remember, so in this sens

it is expected that today the president of slovakia. instruct fitso to form a new government, and despite the victory, he will have to form a coalition to obtain a majority in the parliament with parties that support the transfer of arms to ukraine. roberta fitzo is called an ambiguous political figure. last year, he was accused of creating a criminal group together with the ex-minister of internal affairs, and he ended his previous term as prime minister early after a local journalist was killed in slovakia. jan kuciak in 2018, he and his bride were found shot dead in their own home. the murder sparked mass protests in slovakia demanding an end to the mafia's influence in the country. my colleague, rostyslav khotin, columnist of radio svoboda, joins our broadcast. congratulations rostislav tell us what these election results mean for ukraine, whether kyiv can no longer count on slovakia's support, or whether pro-ukrainian forces can still form. coalition, and how did the vote go in general.
