Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has accused some within the European Union of attempting to sabotage peace by disrupting the now-canceled meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump in Budapest.
“The foreign minister of a European Union member state says that Russian President V. Putin could be detained during a flight over this country, and the European Commission’s media environment is warning Hungary that it should implement an international arrest warrant,” Fico said in a statement released by the Slovak Government Office.
“I have always maintained that the EU has turned into a war cabinet, that a significant part of EU member states support the war in Ukraine in the naive belief that this way Russia can be weakened and even defeated,” he added, calling attempts to derail peace talks a “sad sight.”
Trump envoy Jared Kushner told “60 Minutes” correspondent Lesley Stahl in an interview aired Sunday that Gaza looked like “a nuclear bomb had been set off” when he toured it a week ago — but insisted there was no genocide.
