16."The Slovak leaders are playing a very dangerous game. They will continue to do so until the war reaches their own homes," Zelensky said.The comments come amid a growing rift between Ukraine and Slovakia as Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico threatened Kyiv with repercussions over its decision to halt the Russian gas transit to the EU.Fico, who visited Moscow in December to discuss gas supply issues with Russian President Vladimir Putin, has also consistently criticized military aid for Ukraine and sanctions against Russia.Talking to Polish journalists, Zelensky recalled his conversation with the Slovak prime minister during a meeting of European leaders. "I told him: 'You were shot at. Why didn't you forgive? Why did you arrest this person who injured you?'" Zelensky said, drawing a parallel between the Russian invasion of Ukraine and an assassination attempt on the Slovak prime minister.Fico was critically injured after being shot in the Slovak town of Handlova on May 15, 2024, following a government meeting.
