Details: The Office of the President said that during the conversation, Zelenskyy invited the Slovak prime minister to visit Ukraine to discuss all outstanding issues.

The call between Zelenskyy and Fico comes after Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán spoke by phone with his Slovak counterpart and announced that the two countries will set up a joint investigative commission to examine the condition of the Druzhba pipeline.

Background:

• Politico reported on 27 February that Orbán may have another condition for unblocking the EU's €90 billion loan to Ukraine, beyond the restart of the Druzhba pipeline.
• The day before, in a letter to European Council President António Costa, Hungary's prime minister hinted that he may step back in his blocking of the loan.
• Orbán wrote an open letter to Zelenskyy on 26 February in which he accused him of acting against Hungary's interests.
