Zelenskyy responds to Fico's offer to meet to discuss gas transit from russia

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has responded to Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, who earlier today suggested that the Ukrainian leader meet and discuss the issue of stopping gas transit from russia.

Zelenskyy published his response on X.

"Okay. Come to Kyiv on Friday," the President wrote.

On Monday, January 13, Fico recorded a video message in which he suggested Zelenskyy to meet. The head of the Slovak government wants to discuss Kyiv's stopping russian gas transit to Europe.

Recall that on the morning of January 1, 2025, Ukraine's gas transportation system stopped pumping russian gas towards Europe.

Fico said that not only Slovakia and the European Union countries are suffering from the transit stoppage, but also allegedly Ukraine.

He called on Zelensky to meet as soon as possible and suggested organizing negotiations near the state border between Ukraine and Slovakia.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on January 9, Fico said that Slovakia is considering a number of measures that Bratislava will allegedly introduce against Kyiv due to the cessation of gas transit.

Earlier, the Slovak Prime Minister threatened to limit assistance to Ukrainian refugees who are in Slovakia.
