(MENAFN- UkrinForm) Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico is making a mistake by opting for Russia instead of the United States and other partners who can ensure gas deliveries to his country solely on commercial terms.
Volodymyr Zelensky made the statement via social media, Ukrinform reports.
"For the information of the current Prime Minister of Slovakia: A few days ago, President trump made a strong decision that can significantly increase the export of American LNG, particularly to Europe. This is exactly what is needed for security and stability-more energy resources from partners for Europe.," he noted.

"But not Mr. Fico. He chooses Moscow over America and other partners who can supply his country with gas on commercial terms. This is his mistake. Everyone in Europe must think long-term and foster relationships that strengthen our nations," Zelensky concluded.
