| In Brussels, I will address Zelensky's sabotage of Slovak interests |

| Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico (Smer-SD) wants to address the damage of almost 1.5 billion euros in Brussels on Thursday (January 9) that Ukraine caused Slovakia by stopping gas transit. This was also the reason why he traveled to Moscow. He stated this in a video on social media on Wednesday.
"President Zelensky is sabotaging the financial interests of Slovakia and the EU despite the fact that the European Commission clearly states in its official letter that nothing prevents Ukraine from continuing transit. Neither European law nor sanctions," Fico said, adding that Zelensky's decision will cause the EU about 70 billion euros in damage.
"Tomorrow I am traveling to Brussels for negotiations with the Energy Commissioner and I will do everything to wake him up from his sweet sleep. Because we have a 'damn' serious problem - a problem worth tens of billions of euros. Neither Slovakia nor the EU is at war, we have no reason to tolerate Zelensky's adventures, especially considering the assistance that Slovakia and the EU provide to Ukraine," said the Slovak Prime Minister.
The reason he traveled to Moscow, he said, was the halting of gas transit through Ukraine and the damage to Slovakia's national and financial interests. "I needed to secure at least gas for Slovakia's domestic consumption, which we have secured, even without raising gas prices," he said. He also wanted to get an answer as to whether Russia was ready to continue supplying gas for transit through Ukraine and Slovakia further west. The answer, he said, was positive.
He also criticized the opposition's proposal to convene an extraordinary session of parliament on Slovakia's foreign policy orientation. The Prime Minister of the Slovak Republic will recommend to Smer-SD MPs not to participate in this opposition initiative.
"Neither Moscow nor Brussels is about Slovakia's foreign policy orientation. That is a given, although looking at the EU, I fear that it will fall apart sooner than we can even imagine. The opposition should therefore stop annoying with obligatory rhetorical exercises and take a clear stance on President Zelensky's harmful decisions," Fico concluded.odkaz na stránku |
