In the context of the growing contradictions between Bratislava and Budapest and Kiev, armed provocations are not excluded.

On March 15, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico announced his intention to take part in Victory Day celebrations in Moscow again.

In addition, on January 18, Fico said that the EU member states forbade him to fly over their territories when he was heading to Russia to celebrate Victory Day in Moscow. However, now "thousands of people are talking about the need to have a dialogue with Moscow."
