Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico may meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the “next few days,” he told journalists on Jan. 16, iRozhlas reported.<\/p>\n

“We are looking for another date, which should be in the next few days,” Fico<\/a> said when asked about a potential meeting with Zelensky.<\/p>\n

Fico did not specify where the meeting might take place.<\/p>\n

Fico had earlier offered Zelensky a meeting at the Slovak-Ukrainian border to discuss Ukraine’s decision to end Russian gas transit through Ukraine. In response, the Ukrainian president invited the Slovak prime minister to Kyiv.<\/p>\n

Following Zelensky’s invitation<\/a>, Tibor Gaspar, deputy speaker of the Slovak Parliament, said that Fico would not be visiting<\/a> the Ukrainian capital.<\/p>\n

Ukraine did not renew a pre-war agreement to transit Russian gas<\/a> to Europe via Ukrainian territory, instead allowing the deal to expire<\/a> on Jan. 1. Kyiv warned repeatedly that it would not extend the deal in order to stop financing Russia’s full-scale war.<\/p>\n

Fico and his Hungarian counterpart Viktor Orban have been among some of the most vocal opponents of Ukraine’s decision to stop Russian gas transit.<\/p>\n

Despite Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Orban and Fico have continued to maintain friendly ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin, meeting with him, and promoting pro-Russian narratives in Europe.<\/p>\n

Fico previously threatened to cut off electricity supplies<\/a> to Ukraine amid increasing blackouts due to Russian attacks targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.<\/p>\n

While the EU has made efforts to reduce dependency on Russian fossil fuels<\/a> following the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, many countries, including Slovakia and Hungary, remain reliant on Russian gas.<\/p>\n
