Quote: "It was important to hear that Slovakia supports Ukraine's membership in the European Union and is ready to share its experience of accession."
More details: Zelenskyy also invited Fico to Kyiv and thanked him for his invitation to visit Bratislava.
Quote: "We also discussed the possibility of a personal meeting in the near future. Our teams will work on scheduling it."
Background:
- On 30 April, the European Commission said Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico and Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić should visit Kyiv on 9 May to demonstrate their support, rather than travel to Moscow.
- Fico told Brussels to forget about Slovakia supporting Ukraine's accelerated EU accession until the oil flow via the Druzhba pipeline is resumed.
