Poland hints at thaw with Slovakia if Fico unblocks Ukraine aid and stays Russia‑watchful
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski suggested a potential thaw in Poland–Slovakia ties if Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico unblocks EU aid to Ukraine and avoids a Russia‑friendly approach, even as Fico plans a Moscow visit for Victory Day. The remarks come amid strained Kyiv–Bratislava relations following the Druzhba pipeline issues, with Fico reiterating support for Ukraine’s EU bid. The situation unfolds as Hungary’s incoming leadership is expected to back EU aid to Ukraine, signaling cautious shifts in the region’s stance on the war.
