Details: When asked to comment on Fico's remark that Ukraine's invitation to NATO "would not come for free" and whether he had spoken with the Slovak delegation, Zelenskyy confirmed that he spoke with Robert Fico on Thursday, noting that the details of their discussion would remain "between them".

Quote: "I said a lot of things to Fico today. I think that we have to hold relationships between our countries. His country is not at war, God bless. I wish his people peace, not seeing what Putin really can bring to your country. It’s great that he doesn’t feel it; it’s good for his people. But he has to support us; otherwise, he will understand it very well. Because Putin will never stop if we do not stop him," Zelenskyy said.

Background: Earlier this week, the Slovak Prime Minister expressed the view that the war in Ukraine would end soon and suggested that a Munich Agreement for Ukraine, similar to what happened to Czechoslovakia in 1938, is being prepared.
