President Volodymyr Zelensky on Dec. 23 accused Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico of undermining Europe’s efforts to become independent of Russian gas and helping Moscow to fund its war against Ukraine.
Didn’t Fico say he wanted to “do politics to all four sides” or some shit?
What an embarrassment of a person. Truly despicable, without a shred of spine.
Without a way to magically transport resources, there’s no chance of getting anything useful from Putin right now.
Looking ahead, Russia’s economy is in shambles. Even under ideal conditions, it’ll take years to recover.

Remember when they tried to paint him as a cancer patient that was sure to die by the end of the first year?
