Details: According to Zelenskyi, Moscow provides significant discounts for Fico, but Slovakia pays for them.
“Such discounts are not free – Russia is paid for them with sovereignty or shadow schemes. This should interest Slovak law enforcement agencies and special services,” he wrote.
As the Ukrainian president said, the details of such financing were disclosed during the recent meeting of European leaders in Brussels.
The leaders noted that Fico does not want to participate in joint European work on energy independence or to look for a replacement for Russian gas, but rather on the contrary – he wants to help Russia displace American gas and the energy resources of other partners from Europe, which means, according to Zelensky, that he wants help Putin make money to finance the war and weaken Europe.
“We are losing people because of the war started by Putin, and we believe that such assistance to Putin is immoral,” the president emphasized.
According to him, Fico even refused compensations that would ease the transition period and help get rid of addiction. That is, for him, this issue is not a security issue, Zelenskyi said.
“So, his key goal is to do business with Russia, and that’s what benefits him. This is actually a big security issue for both Slovakia and Europe as a whole. Why is this leader so dependent on Moscow? What is he paid for and what does he pay for?” – asked the President of Ukraine.
On Sunday, Robert Fitso came to Moscow to meet with the Russian President Vladimir Putin. He said that he informed the EU leaders about his visit.
Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda criticized Fico’s visit, and the Czech Republic also reacted negatively.
