Fico in Russia. He will talk to Putin about gas
The Polish Press Agency reminds that Kiev recently announced that it will not extend the agreement on the transit of gas from Russia through Ukraine. It will expire in 2024. Meanwhile, Bratislava was purchasing blue fuel transported through Ukrainian territory.
The President of Ukraine – Volodymyr Zelensky – has already talked to the head of the Slovak government on this matter. He informed him that Kiev “will transit gas only if it does not come from Russia.”
– We will not give the opportunity to earn additional billions from our blood, from the lives of our citizens, he said on Thursday.
