Fico called opposition’s visit to Ukraine "gesture of sycophancy." Kissing Zelenskyy’s ring
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has reacted to the recent visit of Slovak MPs to Kyiv, where they met with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and called it a "gesture of sycophancy."
According to Censor.NET, citing Pravda, this is stated in Fico's address.
Among other things, Fico accused opposition MPs of preparing a coup d'état and stressed that the current government "will be ready for anything, especially a possible Maidan."
He also said that Slovak opposition politicians "kissed Zelenskyy's ring" and allegedly promised him support for Ukraine's NATO membership if they came to power.
According to him, the opposition promised that Slovakia would join in sending a contingent of Western troops to Ukraine.
"The government I lead will never support Ukraine's membership in NATO, because it will only lead to the third world war. The government will also never propose to send troops to Ukraine to use their weapons against Russia," Fico said.
Regarding the termination of Russian gas transit through Ukraine, he threatened to retaliate and veto further EU aid to Kyiv.
"Robert Fico is the Prime Minister of Slovakia, not a Ukrainian servant," he said.
As a reminder, on Friday, January 17, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with a delegation of the opposition party Progressive Slovakia led by MP Michal Šimečka.
