Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has called for the urgent opening of dialogue between the EU and Russia, highlighting the risks of escalating tensions following the incident in Galați.

Robert Fico, the leader of Slovakia, has called for the immediate opening of a dialogue between the European Union and the Russian Federation, following the incident in which a drone crashed into an apartment building in Galați. Fico, known for his eurosceptic positions and criticisms of Western policies regarding the war in Ukraine, warned that the lack of dialogue could lead to escalating tensions.

In a message posted on platform X, he stated that the absence of communication between the two parties could turn any minor incident into a crisis situation. Although he expressed solidarity with the Romanian government, Fico did not mention Russia as the aggressor in the conflict in Ukraine. Fico has been criticized for his positions, which oppose military support for Ukraine.
