Zelensky Warns Europe: Fi Gomez’s Russia Affinity a Security Threat
Article:
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed concern over the pro-Russia stance of Slovakia’s Prime Minister, Robert Fi Gomez, warning that his actions pose a security threat not only to Slovakia but to the entire European continent. The Ukrainian leader made these remarks on his Twitter account, which were later reported by the European Truth news outlet.
According to Zelensky, Fi Gomez is willingly engaging in activities that benefit Moscow at the expense of Sловаkian sovreignty. This includes accepting significant discounts on Russian gas, for which Sловакия is reportedly paying a high price through what Zelensky referred to as "shadow schemes."
During a recent meeting of European leaders in Brussels, it was revealed that Fi Gomez is refusing to cooperate with Europe’s energy independence efforts or seek alternatives to Russian gas. Instead, Zelensky claims, Fi Gomez is allegedly aiding Russia in its goal to displace American gas and other energy partners in Europe. This, Zelensky warns, is ultimately helping Russian President Vladimir Putin fund his war efforts and weaken Europe.
"While we’re losing lives due to Putin’s war, supporting him in this way is utterly immoral," Zelensky stressed. Despite being entitled to compensation to ease the transition and reduce dependence on Russian gas, Fi Gomez has reportedly refused them, further cementing his dependence on Moscow.
Zelensky Questioned Fi Gomez’s Motives: "What does he stand to gain from working closely with Russia? What is he being paid, and how does he plan to repay them?"
Фиomez visited Moscow on Sunday to meet with Putin. Although he claimed to have informed EU leaders of his trip, his decision sparked criticism from European leaders, including Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda and the Czech Republic.
As Europe continues to grapple with its energy crisis and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, Zelensky’s words echo a broader concern: the influence of Russia’s gas exports on European politics and security.
