MEP Veronika Cifrova Ostrihonova shared her candid views on key international and European issues with The Brussels Morning Newspaper. She expressed skepticism about the Trump-Putin meeting’s effectiveness on the Ukraine conflict, emphasized the crucial roles of Presidents Zelenskyy and von der Leyen in peace efforts, and strongly criticized the Slovak government’s stance on security and diplomacy.
Who is MEP Veronika Cifrova Ostrihonova?
Veronika Cifrova Ostrihonova is a respected Member of the European Parliament known for her advocacy on European unity and security. Representing the Progresívne Slovensko party, she actively participates in shaping discourse on foreign policy, particularly with regard to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
On the Trump-Putin meeting, MEP Veronika Cifrova Ostrihonova told The Brussels Morning Newspaper,
“It is difficult to identify any tangible outcome from the Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska. The press conference after the meeting did not provide any significant added value in terms of how the conflict should be resolved. In any case, such a resolution could never emerge from this meeting alone, as Ukraine itself was absent.”
She added,
“I view the meeting more as a political performance by President Trump than as a step towards peace. … It remains crucial that the United States continues to stand firmly on the side of Ukraine and European security.”
Regarding the role of European leaders, the MEP stated,
“There can be no doubt that President Zelenskyy must be at the heart of any negotiations concerning a ceasefire or a future peace settlement. This war was launched by Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified aggression, and Ukraine as the attacked party must be directly involved in shaping the conditions for its resolution.”
She also highlighted,
“Equally, President Ursula von der Leyen should be present at the negotiating table. She represents the collective voice of 27 EU Member States… The principle is clear: nothing about European security should be decided without Europe.”
On the position of the Slovak government, Ostrihonova expressed serious concerns:
“The foreign policy course pursued by Robert Fico’s government is reckless and dangerous. Instead of protecting Slovakia’s interests, it actively undermines them.”
She criticized the government for, “floating the idea that neutrality could benefit Slovakia,” and warned that such a stance “weakens trust in NATO the cornerstone of our safety and plays straight into the hands of those who want to divide us.”
As she mentioned in her tweet,
Today’s meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin could be a pivotal moment in more than 3.5 years of Russian aggression against 🇺🇦 Ukraine.

Seems like MEP Ostrihonova is really onto something with her “strong support” for Ukraine—because nothing says unity like a meeting where the main players can’t even be bothered to show up! 🤷♂️ You’d think we were discussing the latest football match rather than a war, right? 🥴

Seems like Cifrova Ostrihonova is auditioning for a role in a political soap opera—who knew the EU needed more drama? 🤷♂️ With all this talk of unity, maybe we should start charging for the front row seats! 🎭

Cifrova Ostrihonova’s stance on EU unity and Ukraine is as refreshing as a pint of lukewarm lager, isn’t it? 🤔 I suppose we’ll just keep waiting for that miracle to happen while we sip our overpriced espressos! 🍵💸

Iran – United States: The Truce Is Not Peace, It Is a Strategic Pause – Op-ed by Isaac Hammouch
The perception of Iran as an immediate threat is misguided. Although it may never have posed such a danger in the traditional sense, this misconception has led to flawed strategic discussions in the West. A focus on short-term threats overlooks Iran’s real power, which is built on long-term, multidimensional strategies. Rather than seeking immediate attacks, Iran gradually increases its leverage
