PS Leader Simecka Meets with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy

Kiev/Bratislava, January 17 (TASR) - Chair of the most popular opposition Progressive Slovakia (PS) party Michal Simecka met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kiev on Friday and stated that the Ukrainian head of state has an interest in cultivating good ties and cooperation with Slovakia, TASR learnt from a PS post on Facebook on the same day. "An important meeting with President Zelenskyy. I'm bringing a clear message for Slovakia from him. Ukraine holds our support in high esteem and has an interest in the best possible ties and cooperation - including in the sphere of energy. And it's ready to negotiate. And that's what I call on [Prime Minister] Robert Fico to do," wrote Simecka. In his view, the PS delegation has managed to "reopen the door that Prime Minister Fico needlessly slammed shut with his aggressive attacks". Simecka visited Kiev on Friday together with several opposition politicians of PS, including Ivan Korcok, MPs Tomas Valasek, Beata Jurik and Lucia Plavakova. mf/mcs
