Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico admitted that he was shocked by a private conversation with Ukrainian Prime Minister Serhiy Koretsky about the war between Ukraine and Russia.

"I have no right to reveal the details and never do, but I had a private conversation with the Ukrainian prime minister and was shocked by it," Fico said. He stressed that his reaction primarily concerned information related to the war and its possible further course.

Fico made the comments during a press conference in Bratislava on Tuesday.

"Literally shocked when it comes to the war and further developments in the future," he added. Speaking about war, he said, "It's killing people to benefit someone. For money, for influence. I reject it."

However, Fico did not specify what information the head of the Ukrainian government gave him. He noted that due to the confidential nature of the conversation, he did not intend to reveal details.

During the same conference, Fico referred to planned further financial support for Kyiv, estimated at an additional €70 billion.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz advocates for all European Union member states to participate in financing aid for Ukraine. According to media reports, Berlin wants to link the agreement on Ukraine to any future multiannual EU budget for 2028-2034.

Fico is firmly opposed to this development. "What the Federal Chancellor is doing is typical blackmail. And I reject it. We have the same veto power as him," said Fico.

He then stated his country was opposed to financing another loan for Ukraine.
