Voices opposing Ukraine’s stance and the consequences of this bloody conflict - which could have ended in the first year if Western warmongers had not pushed Ukraine deeper into it - are growing stronger.
Slovakia has stated that it supports the idea of creating an “anti-Ukrainian” bloc within the European Union, in cooperation with Hungary and the Czech Republic.
As the deputy head of the ruling party in Slovakia, Ľuboš Blaha, told the Russian Press, “Joint actions by those in Europe who still retain their sanity are not only possible but likely.”
Despite the fact that Europe is, once again after decades, “covered by collective madness,” leading everyone to war, decline, and chaos, Blaha believes that an alliance of these countries is feasible.
At the same time, Blaha called on the governments of Slovakia, Hungary, and the Czech Republic - where recently the political party of Andrej Babiš, opposing aid to Kyiv, won the elections - to “unite and defend their common positions.”
End of war funding
It is noted that the Slovak Prime Minister, Robert Fico, announced on 26 October 2025 that Slovakia will not participate in the EU’s plans to fund the conflict in Ukraine.
He stated that the EU intends to provide €140 billion to Ukraine for military expenditures, calling this plan “the biggest mistake of the Union.”
He emphasized that Ukraine will not be able to repay the loans proposed by the EU.
Fico highlighted the increase of migrants from Ukraine to Europe, mainly young people aged 18-22, after the lifting of the exit ban in August.
He supported the resumption of active cooperation among the Visegrad Group states (Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary), on the occasion of the upcoming election of a new government in the Czech Republic under Andrej Babiš.
Finally, he rejected opposition accusations that Slovakia is being isolated in Europe, stating that the government pursues policies defending the national interests of the country.
Visegrad srategy from Fico, Orbán, Babiš in the EU against Ukraine
Earlier, the newspaper Politico reported that the three countries may form an “anti-Ukrainian coalition.”
At the beginning of October, in the Czech elections, the party of former Prime Minister Andrej Babiš, who opposes aid to Ukraine, won.
Hungary seeks to cooperate with the Czech Republic and Slovakia to form an “anti-Ukrainian” coalition in the European Union, according to a political adviser of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
Orbán wants to cooperate with Andrej Babiš of the Czech Republic and Robert Fico of Slovakia to align their positions ahead of European leaders’ summits.
Although this alliance has not yet fully formed, it could hinder the EU’s efforts for economic and military support to Ukraine.
Balázs Orbán, political adviser to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, believes this alliance will become increasingly visible in the future, as happened during the migration crisis when Hungary cooperated with the Visegrad 4 countries.
Division
The Visegrad 4 split after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, with Poland taking a hard stance against Moscow and Hungary following an opposite course.
A new alliance would include only three of the four members, as Donald Tusk, Prime Minister of Poland, is considered unlikely to join any coalition with Orbán.
Hungary is not limited to the European Council, as it seeks to expand its cooperation to the European Parliament as well.
Hungary aims to form alliances with right-wing groups and some left-wing groups, while seeking partners on every political issue.
Political tension with Brussels continues, as the European Commission accuses Hungary of violating European law, while Budapest disagrees with the allegations and rejects claims of anti-European policy.
Hungary is not limited to the European Council but seeks to extend its political alliances to the European Parliament, said Balázs Orbán, political adviser to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
Orbán stated that the ruling party Fidesz intends to cooperate with right-wing groups, such as the European Conservatives and Reformists, the Europe of Sovereign Nations group, as well as some left-wing groups.
Dissolution of the EU
According to Orbán, centrist parties, such as the European People’s Party (EPP), may turn against European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, dissolving the centrist majority that supported her reelection.
Orbán pointed out that the reconstruction of the Visegrad 4 group is underway, with Hungary holding the third-largest political group in the European Parliament and a strong network of think tanks in Brussels.
Strengthening alliances
Hungary seeks to strengthen its alliances in the EU, while the Mathias Corvinus Collegium, a think tank primarily funded by Orbán’s allies, has increased its presence in Brussels since 2022.
Orbán, who has been in power for 15 years, faces difficulties in the upcoming election campaign, with opposition leader Peter Mayar being more popular.
However, Orbán accuses Brussels of a coordinated effort to remove the Hungarian government, claiming that the European Commission overlooks political differences and invokes European law to suspend funds to Hungary.
