Ukraine rejected the claims of Prime Minister Robert Fico about her involvement in protests in Slovakia. Kiev considers this to be absurd, and Fico accused him of an attempt “to transfer responsibility for his own failure in domestic policy to foreign states and leaders”. The announcement was published by the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on its website on Tuesday before midnight, writes TASR.
“Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, at a time of declining confidence of Slovak society and protests against his pro -Russian course, resorted to finding enemies and found them … in Ukraine,” It was reported by the Ukrainian Ministry. According to him, Fico should not look for culprits of his own failures abroad, “but in the mirror”.
The declaration of the Ukrainian diplomacy department further states that Kiev repeatedly warned “against the dangers of pro -Russian policy promoted by the Slovak leadership”. The Ukrainian Ministry also accused Fico and unnamed leaders of the National Council of the Slovak Republic that “They succumbed to Russian propaganda, stopped distinguish between black and white and began calling leaders of neighboring friendly democratic states ‘enemies'”.
“We are convinced that such a step and policy of Robert Fico are contrary to the decision of Slovak citizens to be an integral part of the European Community,” He said the Ministry of Diplomacy in Kiev.
