> Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico says the strategy of bringing Russia to its knees has failed, but the West refuses to acknowledge its mistake and continues to fan the flames of war. He warns that further militarization, rising tensions and the prospect of global conflict could help politicians survive politically amid economic decline and the consequences of misguided migration policies. Fico says the Ukraine conflict has no military solution.
