The Vice-President of the European Commission, Vera Yurova, strongly reacted to the statements of the Prime Minister of Slovakia, Robert Fico, who brazenly lies about Ukraine.
Yurova publicly challenged Fico
The vice-chairman of the European Commission noted that anyone who tries to weaken aid to Ukraine, even with the help of statements, "is essentially helping the Kremlin."
Anyone who spreads Russian propaganda, for example, saying that the Ukrainians started the war, is betraying their allies in the European Union... We all want peace. But we do not wish for peace that would mean the capitulation of Ukraine. We are not that weak.

As the European politician admits, she expected a stronger reaction from her colleagues in the EU after Robert Fico's scandalous statements.
However, only the Prime Minister of Poland, Donald Tusk, embarrassed Putin's henchman.
Vera Yurova also drew attention to the fact that this is not the area of competence of the European Commission.
Our basic rules, which are basic treaties, did not provide for this type of betrayal of the fundamental interests of the European Union and European citizens, — stressed the vice-chairman of the European Commission.
What Fico said about Ukraine and the war
On Feb. 24, 2022, Robert Fico began to cynically lie that the war began in 2014 "with the rampage of Ukrainian neo-Nazis."
Putin's henchman added that the military invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation is also to "mislead Russia that NATO will not expand further to the east."
In addition, he claimed that the West's strategy for the conflict is not working, that Slavs are dying in the war, and the West is watching this without having a peace plan from the European Union.
