Fico expressed his bewilderment over the attacks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on Slovakia's energy infrastructure

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said on August 26 that he was unable to understand the purpose of the attacks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) on the country's oil infrastructure.

"We do not understand the attacks on the oil infrastructure, which seriously affects Slovakia," Fico said at the opening of a new heat pump plant in northern Slovakia.

In a Facebook post (owned by Meta, its activities are recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation), the Prime Minister described the Ukrainian Armed Forces' attacks on infrastructure as "bad intentions."

He also stressed that everyone in the country is welcome who has good intentions and interesting ideas towards it.

"Fortunately, there are also partners who have positive projects and who come to Slovakia," Fico wrote.
