Europe-Asia Studies, 2025, vol. 77, issue 1, 6-41

Abstract: After the Russian occupation of Crimea in 2014, ties between European far-right parties and Russia came under scrutiny. The 2022 invasion of Ukraine has made Russia a problematic political ally. This article explores how three Slovakian far-right parties, known for their pro-Russian stance, framed the war in Ukraine in the preceding months and in the immediate aftermath of the invasion. Framework analysis is deployed to discuss their statements from the escalation of tensions in December 2021 until the end of the Kyiv offensive in April 2022. The interpretation demonstrates how these parties' pro-Russian stance was actually a cover for anti-Western sentiments rather than sincere endorsement of Russia’s actions.
