Conspiracy theories spread in Russia amid Fico and Vučić’s health issues
As Moscow prepares for Victory Day on 9 May, the only two European politicians expected to attend – Slovak PM Robert Fico and Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić – have both unexpectedly cancelled their recent programmes, fuelling speculation which Fico has since denied.
Over the weekend, posts began circulating on X and in some media suggesting that Vučić and Fico might not be travelling to Russia for the 9 May celebrations, as reported by the Slovak daily SME.
The Russian outlet 360 speculated, without offering any evidence, whether the two politicians might have been poisoned to prevent them from attending.
On Sunday, however, Fico held a press conference and confirmed that nothing has changed about his plans to travel to Moscow.
When asked about his health by journalists, Fico responded irritably, saying, “My health is none of your business,” though he did admit to ongoing issues stemming from an assassination attempt he survived in May last year.
Over the weekend, Zelensky stated that Ukraine could not guarantee the safety of any politicians attending the celebrations in Moscow, as that responsibility lies with Russia.
“It’s extremely disrespectful for someone to tell the country that made the greatest contribution to defeating fascism and suffered the greatest losses: Go ahead and celebrate – maybe we’ll throw a drone your way,” Fico said, ignoring the fact that it is Russia that launched the war against Ukraine and is bombarding it on a daily basis.

Hmm, but if Ukraine bombs the parade and kills the guest presidents, will not Slovakia and Serbia then join Russia in the war?

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
