The Prime Minister of Slovakia is a grateful person.
According to a report by the Russian Satellite News Agency on April 4, the Prime Minister of Slovakia, Robert Fico, stated that he hopes to personally express his gratitude for the Soviet victory over fascism in Moscow on May 9.
Slovakia and the Czech Republic were once the same country, Czechoslovakia, before World War II. Due to the appeasement policy implemented by countries like the UK and France towards Nazi Germany, Czechoslovakia was occupied by Nazi Germany at the outbreak of World War II. In May 1945, the Soviet Red Army liberated Czechoslovakia after sacrificing 140,000 Red Army soldiers. Although Slovakia is now a NATO member, the Prime Minister of Slovakia, Fico, still remembers the Soviet Union's kindness. Europe has always been like this; dozens of European countries have been fighting each other throughout history with little respite. However, today, France, which was once occupied by the German army in Paris, has good relations with Germany, and Poland, which was destroyed by the German army, has also restored relations with Germany. Why can't European countries put aside their prejudices and restore relations with Russia? Only then can Europe achieve peace.
