Robert Fico Update
Megatron is typically, not uniformly, reliable even when he doesn’t cite a source. 18 hours ago he was reporting that Fico is in an induced coma and in critical condition. Other reports say his condition has stabilized but is serious—not necessarily contradictory reports.
Now we’re learning that the assassin is married to a Ukrainian and has been filmed at pro-Ukraine/anti-Slovakia government demonstrations.

Slovakian PM Fico shooter was a well known Ukrainian activist.
On April 24, Juraj Chintula was seen among those raising anti-government slogans, insulting the authorities and shouting: “Long live Ukraine” in footage published by local media.
When Juraj Chintula attacked the Prime Minister of Slovakia on Wednesday, he explained his actions by saying that he “did not agree with the government’s policy.”

The SBU may be behind the assassination attempt on the Prime Minister of Slovakia
The wife of a certain Juraj Tsintula, who shot Robert Fico, has been arrested. His wife is a refugee from Ukraine and a pro-Maidan activist.

It’s too early to say that this was a Ukrainian backed assassination, but the past participation of the CIA/MI6 trained SBU in assassinations using Ukrainian nationals abroad makes the suspicion a very logical one. In addition, the SBU has published what amounts to a hit list, so that increases suspicions.
Dmitry Medvedev has issued a sober and fact based statement:

Medvedev:
“Is it surprising that, for the first time in decades, an assassination attempt in Europe was made on a politician who held a reasonable position towards Russia? Not a pro-Russian one, mind you. Just a pragmatist and not a Russophobe.
Of course not. R. Fico, with whom I have been in contact since 2008, represents that part of the European establishment which has not lost touch with reality and does not want its citizens to turn into gray radioactive ash. And naturally, he became the target. Politicians like the Slovak Prime Minister are rare in Europe. They urgently need to attend to their security.
Yes, the attacker was a bitter fringe member of the intelligentsia. A sort of Gavrilo Princip in reverse. Yes, he disliked Fico. He wrote all sorts of nonsense.
But his act is the quintessence of the new Europe – idiotically Russophobic, subserviently unrestrained, and completely brainless. Unwilling to grasp the basic things. Ready to throw its citizens into the furnace of selfish American politics. Europe of disgusting degenerates, ignorant of its own history.
Therefore, Macron, Sunak, Scholz, and von der Leyen can relax for now.
For now.
And I wish Robert Fico a swift recovery from his severe injury!”

Fico himself knew he was at risk:
Slovakia PM Fico predicted assassination attempt weeks ago, blamed pro-Kiev media for stoking tensions

From Russian Market
I still don’t think that Ukrainian connection is the main driver.
Fico had a lot of internal bleeding due to taking blood thinners. The latest update is that secret service (or whatever they called themselves) arrested 32 people so far. Mostly idiots posting public threats online.
Will keep you posted.
From Slovakian media - his condition has stabilized.
Text from my dad - no one believes in media/TV reports. People fears that his condition is still very critical.
Btw, the shooter is from my home town, never heard of that looser.
