Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico will not travel to Kyiv to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Vice Speaker of the Slovak Parliament Tibor Gaspar said in a comment to Russia's TASS.
“This is impossible. I think it won't happen,” said Gaspar, who, by the way, is currently visiting Moscow as part of the Slovak delegation.
On January 13, Fico invited Zelensky to talks “as soon as possible” to discuss stopping the transit of Russian gas through Ukraine. He suggested that Zelensky meet in the Slovak Republic, not far from the state border between Slovakia and Ukraine.
Zelensky later responded briefly, inviting the Slovak prime minister to meet in the Ukrainian capital. “Come to Kyiv,” Zelensky wrote.
Fico's latest statements regarding Ukraine
Earlier, Fico called Zelensky a "beggar" and a "blackmailer," saying he was begging for money from Europe. At the same time, he called Russia a "reliable partner" in the issue of energy supplies: "Russia has never deceived us, unlike Ukraine."
After Ukraine stopped transporting Russian gas through its gas transportation system, Fico threatened Ukraine with “tough measures” to force it to transport Russian gas to the European Union.
