Slovak PM rejects meeting with Zelenskyy, cites president's "personal animosity" towards him

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has stated he sees no reason to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, claiming Zelenskyy "hates" him.

Details: Fico commented on Slovak President Peter Pellegrini’s interest in visiting Ukraine, describing it as a "purely symbolic visit" since the president lacks authority to make deals.
Fico said he sees no point in meeting Zelenskyy, unlike his interactions with Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal.
Quote:"My meeting with President Zelensky would not make sense, because he hates me... So I see no reason to meet with the Ukrainian president."
Details: Fico also noted that he believes Ukraine’s EU membership would bring more advantages than disadvantages for Slovakia.
Background: Slovakia has publicly opposed the EU’s 18th sanctions package against Russia, though the EU expects the country may shift its position soon.
