Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico sat down with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow this weekend, sparking global intrigue as the two leaders tackled energy politics in a post-Ukraine crisis world. The meeting, confirmed by Fico on social media, focused on maintaining Russian gas flows to Slovakia—a hot topic after Ukrainian President Zelenskyy recently opposed gas transit through Ukraine at an EU summit.
Why it matters: With Europe still navigating energy security post-Russia-Ukraine conflict, Slovakia’s move highlights the complex dance between EU solidarity and national interests. Fico’s Moscow visit—a rare direct meeting between an EU leader and Putin—adds fuel to debates about Europe’s energy future.
Zelenskyy’s stance at the Brussels summit last week threw a wrench into regional dynamics, making this tête-à-tête even more timely. While details remain under wraps, analysts say the talks could signal shifting alliances on the geopolitical chessboard.
