Fico will not come to Kyiv

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico is not going to go to negotiations with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

This was stated by the Vice Speaker of the Slovak Parliament Tibor Gašpar, the russian propaganda state agency TASS writes.

"Yesterday, Prime Minister Fico published an open letter to Zelenskyy and invited him to negotiations. Zelenskyy replied that it is necessary to come to Kyiv on Friday. This is impossible. I think this will not happen," Gašpar said.

The day before, Fico recorded a video message in which he invited Zelenskyy to meet near the state border on Slovak territory.

The Slovak Prime Minister said that he would like to discuss stopping the transit of russian gas.

In response, Zelenskyy wrote a short post in which he agreed to the meeting, but in Kyiv. Approx. "Come to Kyiv on Friday," Zelenskyy wrote.

As 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 suspension of gas transit.

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