Fico commented on President Peter Pellegrini's interest in visiting Ukraine and meeting with head of state Volodymyr Zelenskyy. He stressed that from the perspective of the executive branch, Pellegrini has no power to conclude any agreements in Ukraine, and it is merely a symbolic visit.
"My meeting with President Zelenskyy has no meaning, because he hates me," Fico said, adding that this is because he voices his opinions. He claims that communication with Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal is important to him. "I see no reason to meet with the President of Ukraine," Fico emphasized.
