Ukraine’s President is unhappy with Slovakia‘s leader. Here’s why.
The Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has criticized the Slovak Prime Minister, Robert Fico. He says Fico met with Russian President Vladimir Putin to help Russia make money from gas sales in Europe.
Zelenskyy is worried that this meeting will help Russia fund its war against Ukraine and weaken Europe’s energy security. This concern was shared by other European leaders at a recent meeting in Brussels.
Only two EU leaders had visited Putin before Fico, but their visits were widely criticized. The Ukrainian President thinks Fico should have been more careful about what he did.
