KYIV, Dec 30 – President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has posted on the X social network a critical statement about Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico and his cooperation with Vladimir Putin.

"It appears that Putin gave Fico the order to open the second energy front against Ukraine at the expense of the Slovak people's interests. Fico's threats to cut off Ukraine's emergency power supply this winter while Russia attacks our power plants and energy grid can only be explained by this," he said Saturday.
