Zelenskyy Accuses Slovak PM of Aiding Putin, Weakening Europe
In a meeting with European leaders, concerns were raised about Slovak Prime Minister Fico’s dealings with Russia, which include securing discounted gas prices for Slovakia at the apparent cost of national sovereignty. These discounts, according to Zelenskyy, appear to serve Russia’s strategic interests by hindering European energy independence and potentially funding the war in Ukraine. Fico, despite public protests, reportedly secured assurances of continued gas supply from Putin, contingent on Ukraine’s actions. This situation highlights Russia’s ongoing efforts to exert influence within Europe.
