"It was an obvious mistake for Fico to believe that his shadowy schemes with moscow could go on indefinitely", - Zelensky wrote on the social network X on January 12.
“We offered our assistance to the people of Slovakia during their adaptation to the absence of russian gas transit, but Fico arrogantly refused. Many in Europe warned him that doing nothing and waiting was not an option. Now, he’s resorting to PR, lies, and loud accusations to shift the blame away from himself onto someone else”, - Zelensky stated.
The president also added that Fico bet on moscow instead of his own country, a united Europe, or common sense. “It was a losing bet from the very beginning.”
It was previously reported that Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico threatened to block EU aid to Ukraine.
