Claim 1: “Fico’s plane flew over the Czech Republic, Germany, and the Baltic Sea on its way to the Russian capital city”
CORROBORATED
Multiple independent sources report that Fico took a circuitous route to Moscow because the Baltic states closed their airspace. Specifically, one source cites the Slovak publication 'Marker' stating the route included the Czech Republic, Germany, Sweden, and Finland, which aligns with the claim of flying over the Czech Republic, Germany, and the Baltic Sea area.
