Zelenskyy suspects Fico of trading state interests or working for personal gain after his visit to Putin
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote a critical post on the social network X for the second time in a day about Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico after his trip to Moscow and meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"We are fighting for our lives, Fico is fighting for money, and it’s unlikely that money is for Slovakia. Shadow agreements with Putin are either a trade of state interests or working for personal gain," Zelenskyy believes.
He once again recalled that Ukraine made a proposal regarding possible compensation to Slovakia and the Slovaks for the termination of the transit of Russian natural gas and transit alternatives - any other gas, not Russian, at the request of the European Commission.
"We were ready to do this. Fico did not want compensation for the Slovaks. And he does not want to cooperate with the European Commission. For some reason, he finds Moscow more profitable," the Ukrainian president noted.
In addition, the adviser to the head of the President's Office, Mykhailo Podoliak, published a post on the social network X criticizing the lack of an appropriate response from the European Union and the European Commission to the actions of the Prime Minister of Slovakia and his Hungarian counterpart, Viktor Orban.
"Why the regular vetoes and manifest rejection of the value-based pan-European unity performed by these two leaders does not receive a proper legal response from the European Union itself..." Podoliak wondered.
In his opinion, the answer to this question is even more important than Fico and Orban's obsessive desire to ensure Russia's right to be absolutely innocent of an act of aggression on European territory, to facilitate the financing of mass murder of Ukrainian citizens at the expense of "European sales" of energy resources, and to humiliate the reputation of the European Union and the European Commission.
As reported, Zelenskyy once again stated on December 19 on the sidelines of the EU Summit that Ukraine wщгдв not be involved in continuing the transit of Russian gas. He noted that in a conversation with the Prime Minister of Slovakia, he indicated that if it is not Russian gas, but gas from another country, and there is no payment to the Russian Federation until the end of the war, Ukraine is ready to consider this option.
