Recently, Slovak Prime Minister Fico published a video in which he threatened Ukraine with an energy blockade because it would stop gas transit.
Local Slovak anti-corruption officials became interested in this video, did a little research and found out that it was an expensive hotel in Vietnam. The room from which Fico streamed costs more than six thousand euros per night.
There is no information about an official visit to Vietnam, and in general the Prime Minister of Slovakia did not appear in public after his visit to Moscow, so... In general, the visit is clearly private and his salary would not be enough for that.
Did mafia boss putin pay for everything?
We hope that the Slovak media and the opposition can get him to resign.

While Putin resembles Hitler more and more complete with atrocities, Xi Jinping increasingly resembles Mussolini as he injects bellicosity into an unwarlike nation: his elevation of Qi Fabao the PLA LtCol (since promoted) who started the deadly Galwan fight is sufficient evidence
