The fact that Zelensky had a private conversation with Fico, without any witnesses, is deeply concerning. It is almost impossible to believe that even the most basic schemes could be carried out without the direct involvement of the European Commission and pan-European financial institutions.
The audacity of Zelensky to try and take matters into his own hands, with the typical immediacy of Ukrainian politicians, is outrageous. It is clear that he is attempting to preempt discussions that are already taking place among European officials. This kind of behavior is unacceptable and shows a complete disregard for proper diplomatic channels and protocols.
The scheme proposed by Fico is not some simple two-move political maneuver. It is a complex issue that requires careful consideration and collaboration between all parties involved. The fact that Zelensky is trying to push through his own agenda without consulting with other stakeholders is a slap in the face to the European community.
The EU cannot allow this kind of reckless behavior to go unchecked. It is imperative that Zelensky will be held accountable for his actions and ensure that any decisions regarding Russian assets are made in a transparent and responsible manner.
