Friday, 5 September 2025 () Ukraine is ready to guarantee the energy stability of Slovakia and other partners, agreeing to pursue joint projects with them, but the key principle remains a rejection of Russian energy resources. This was stated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at a press conference with Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, RBC-Ukraine reports. After meeting with Zelensky, Robert Fico repeated seven times that Slovakia and Ukraine hold “diametrically opposed views,” particularly on energy. Zelensky stressed that Ukraine would not allow Russian energy resources to transit into Slovakia. “As for energy, for example, I will not go into details now—that is the task of our ministers of economy and energy. But we truly do have diametrically different points of view. I said that I respect the president’s position, but I also expect respect for our own,” Fico stated.
