"Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico on Saturday sharply criticised the US-Israel attack on Iran, warning that the world order is in 'total breakdown' and denouncing what he described as a disregard for international law. "The big and powerful do whatever they want. The United Nations is impressive on paper, and we small states can only watch and grumble. We can issue strong diplomatic statements. We can condemn. But none of that will change a military attack against Iran," he said in a video message. Fico also slammed the international response and took aim at the EU, which he said has again proved itself irrelevant on the world stage, while criticising certain countries for focusing their support for Ukraine and failing to push for diplomatic solutions elsewhere. "Once again it becomes clear how negligible the European Union is and how little anyone takes it seriously. Nobody took us seriously in Gaza, in Venezuela, and now in Iran. The only thing some players in the EU seem capable of is supporting the war in Ukraine." He also expressed his surprise after the German Federal Chancellor announced that the war in Ukraine will continue until "one side is completely exhausted." Fico stated that the attack on Iran was aimed at eliminating Iran’s political and spiritual leadership with the objective of installing a new regime. "Iran will probably not be as easy a nut to crack as Venezuela. It is internally substantially stronger and more stable than Venezuela. Moreover, when backed into a corner, it will not hesitate to use whatever means it has to retaliate," he warned. Fico warned of wider repercussions, saying it will raise tensions globally impacting energy supply and prices, a huge concern in Bratislava. "If the war in Iran restricts oil supplies, we can expect higher fuel prices, and overall tension will rise not only in the region but worldwide." The Slovak Prime Minister also addressed a growing dispute with Ukraine over energy supplies. He said Kiev had suspended oil deliveries to Slovakia and Hungary, prompting Bratislava to declare a state of oil emergency. "President Zelensky claims that the pipeline on Ukrainian territory is damaged. We have completely different information, but when we request to send an inspection team to verify the actual condition, he flatly refuses," Fico said. Hungary and Slovakia have accused Ukraine of deliberately halting oil supplies via the Druzhba pipeline from Russia for political reasons - while Kiev claims the line was damaged by a 'Russian attack'. This week, the EU said European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen had urged Zelensky to 'accelerate' repairs. Hungary blocked the 20th package of sanctions on Russia this week - and said it would halt the latest 90 billion euro loan from the EU to Ukraine too - as the row escalated."
