“Our enemy is Volodymyr Zelenski. He caused the problems we have. I do not like him due to the fact that he harms Slovakia," said Robert Fico. The Slovak Prime Minister commented in this way on the last message by the Ukrainian President, who spoke of a possible transit gas from Azerbaijan to European countries.
Robert Fico said Ukrainian president has no another choice, how to “talk about gas from Azerbaijan” and that “inflates bubbles due to the fact that he thinks that bubble will free him from having to make hard decisions”.
Slovak Prime Minister reiterated that Bratislava considers only the “most realistic” the option of restoring Russian gas transit. For example, if he bought it at the Russian-Ukrainian border, “this gas would besides be transported as Slovak gas through Ukraine”.
Volodymyr Zelensky's reaction took a long time. “To the current Prime Minister of Slovakia. A fewer days ago, president Trump made a firm decision, which greatly increase US gas exports, especially to Europe. The American gas must be paid with money, but not only with money but besides with independency and sovereignty. Many countries in Europe have already gone through this and decided to keep their independency and sovereignty," wrote Ukrainian president on the Telegram platform.
‘Mr. Fico chooses Moscow over America. and another partners who can supply gas to his country on commercial terms. This is his mistake," concluded Zelenski.
Earlier, Robert Fico asked Volodymyr Zelenski to meet and offered him advice on travelling to Slovakia.
