Prime minister of Slovakia has been gone for over 14 days, despite his country not having gas since the beginning of this year after Ukrainian actions. Instead, he’s been geolocated blaming Ukraine from a luxury hotel in Hanoi, Vietnam, that costs ~ $6200 a night. His salary is ~ $12000 a month.

  3. is he afraid of falling out of a window? thought he was pootins new buddy

  4. While gas is no longer flowing from Russia, Slovakia has gas. Why lie about that?

  8. I’m more shocked Vietnam has hotels that cost $6,200 a night.

  13. I’ve come to the conclusion that the 21st century surveillance state mainly is making life difficult for pricks.

    Since I don’t punch women in elevators, or plot dishonest schemes against my own people, I’m apparently a nobody. Oh how shall I bear it.

  15. Jan 2 (Reuters) – Slovakia’s coalition government will discuss retaliatory measures to take against Ukraine after it halted the flow of Russian gas through its territory to Slovakia, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said on Thursday.
    Fico said in a video message posted on Facebook that his Smer party would consider cutting electricity supplies to Ukraine, lowering aid to Ukrainian refugees, and demanding the renewal of gas transits or compensation for losses he said Slovakia had suffered due to the ending of Russian gas flows.
    That’s according to a Reuters poll out Tuesday with economists and analysts citing weak demand from China and rising global supplies.

    Russian gas exports via Soviet-era pipelines running through Ukraine came to a halt on New Year’s Day, marking the end of decades of Moscow’s dominance over Europe’s energy markets, as a transit contract between Russia and Ukraine expired.
    Slovakia has alternative gas supplies but Fico, who has ended military aid to Ukraine and sought warmer relations with Moscow, says Slovakia will lose its own transit revenues and pay additional transit fees to bring in non-Russian gas. He has also said European gas and power prices would rise as a result of Ukraine’s actions.

    Fico said a Slovak delegation would discuss the situation in Brussels next Tuesday and then his ruling coalition would discuss retaliation for what he called “sabotage” by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
    “I declare (my Smer-SSD party) are ready to debate and agree in the coalition on halting supplies of electricity and on significant lowering of support for Ukrainian citizens in Slovakia,” Fico said.

    “The only alternative for a sovereign Slovakia is renewal of transit or demanding compensation mechanisms that will replace the loss in public finances of nearly 500 million euros.”
    Zelenskiy accused Fico last week of opening a “second energy front” against Ukraine on the orders of Russia.
    Slovakia’s gas transit network operator Eustream, majority owned by the state, had revenue of 158 million euros and after-tax profit of 25 million euros in the six months to Jan. 31 last year, the latest period it reported on its website.

    State-owned Slovak gas importer SPP, which covers around two-thirds of Slovak demand, said on Wednesday it would face around 90 million euros in additional costs, mainly in transit fees, if it were to replace all Russian gas this year.
    Slovakia, which neighbours Ukraine in the east, exported 2.4 million megawatt hours of electricity in the first 11 months of 2024 to Ukraine, which has suffered shortages due to Russian bombing, according to data from the Slovak grid operator.

  16. Meanwhile Czech president Petr Pavel in Dakar (Saudi Arabia) on his own expenses(not an official stateman visit, just being a petrolhead that he is) and sleeping in a tent on a desert and air mattress just like others despite being offered a hotel stay by the CZ race team organizators.

  17. Fucking crook… Too bad for Slovaks with bad aim…

  19. Do you suppose he is getting in-call massages while he’s there?

  21. Putler’s mate and subordinate, Fico, gets his bills paid by his master, while the people in his country continue to believe his lies!

  23. When there is no accountability, there is no sin.

    Right now, it is 28 degrees in Brataslava, with snow expected.

    Its 61 degrees in Hanoi…no sense in everybody suffering, right, Fico?

  25. Communist Vietnam has $6200 a night rooms? Someone’s making out like a bandit.

  26. Traitor, living on the fat of others, corrupt, russian, facist, gangster, worried.

  27. Can we get a song ID? Shazam wasn’t recognizing it…

  30. they had almost 3 years to figure it out lol, suddenly it’s a problem

  31. Wow that is amazing that someone actually located this guy in a hotel room in Hanoi using only a curtain, a telephone, and the edge of a TV.

  34. Maybe he won it on the horses?

    Dig out from friends?

    Found some spare change down the back of the sofa?

  35. > ~ $6200 a night. His salary is ~ $12000 a month.

    I bet he doesn’t do Starbucks or avocado toast.

  36. I stayed in the presidential suite of the Davis Hotel in Bangkok for £120 a night… what an idiot!

  38. Call me crazy but I’m not sure it was due to “Ukrainian Actions”. I’m pretty sure Russia had something to do with this. Call me crazy but I would have blown that pipeline to hell about 15 minutes after the Russian invasion… three years in, it have been melted down for weapons.

  39. I fucking hate my country for siding with these fucking scum, and being a mini copy of China.

  44. us not having gas is his narrative. we have enough reserves (he’s well aware of that). we have options to get gas from other sources (he’s well aware of that). fact that UA will stop transit was well known, we had enough time to prepare (he’s well aware of that).

    don’t repeat his narrative.

    we’re also aware about his luxurious holiday in the time, when our economy is being “consolidated” (higher taxes for us, ordinary people). it was slovaks who exposed him. everyone who follows politics knows about it. it’s only natural that his fans, ork simps and brainwashed zombies don’t care about it. they’re stupid puppets. but there’s still enough of those, who care. and we won’t forgive him. and we keep helping Ukraine our own way, within our capabilities. and he can’t do shit about it.

  45. Why is slovakia still part of the EU? I don’t want to fund this mini-putler.

  46. I think the title is misleading.
    “after Ukrainian actions” seems to blame the Ukraine on Slovakia not receiving gas anymore.
    I think the title should rather be “after Slovakian inaction”.

    It was more than clear that it would come to this and Slovakia had plenty of time for arrangements. But Fico being the Putin aficionado he is, want it to come to this, just to blame Ukraine on it.
