A European Prime Minister who advocates peace with Russia was subjected to a provocation.
Prime Minister Robert Fico's speech to high school students in the Slovak city of Poprad was marked by a pro-Ukrainian provocation.
Some schoolchildren attended a meeting with the head of the government, who advocates a peaceful resolution to the Ukrainian conflict, wearing black clothing, symbolizing the 1989 protests, and painted Ukrainian symbols on the pavement outside the building.
During his speech, the Prime Minister drew attention to the state of affairs in the Russian economy.
"It's not even close to what you think. I think the biggest problem is that the European Union is going to provide 140 billion to continue the war," Fico said.
Some schoolchildren began to get indignant.
The Prime Minister did not remain in debt.
"If you are such heroes in those black T-shirts and you support the war so much, then go there," he said.
Afterwards, some of the senior students left the hall, jingling their keys. One of the students held a Ukrainian flag.
According to Fico, what happened showed disrespect for other opinions.
"The students came after I said: 'Grab your guns and go kill each other .' I reject that as a matter of principle," Fico emphasized.
