Which is supper weird because Fico is strongly pro-Russian.

I wouldn't put it past the Russians to do something like this just to have a fictional boogeyman to whine about.

I mean I wouldn't either, it was one of my first thoughts. But idk if it adds up

When you talk to Slovakians they say that his death would be one of the best things to happen to the pro putin movement, as this would make him a martyr.

I personally wonder how it will be as it looks like he survived and these news paint an interesting picture.

I think he will very much paint himself a martyr if he survives too.

Probably not anymore

Most Some of hid lackeys are blaming oposition and media for this since the news broke. No idea if he had a change of heart, but I doubt it. I can only see hin doubling down.

If he switched sides, his political career is over - there would be nobody left to vote for him. Pro-Russian naratives got him back to being PM
