Zelenskyy invites Slovak PM to Kyiv amid Druzhba oil dispute

President Zelenskyy invited Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico to Kyiv to discuss all issues after a week of tensions over the Druzhba pipeline, which has been out of operation for about a month. Hungary and Slovakia want access to inspect the pipeline; Fico argues EU exemptions cover the deliveries and Slovakia has halted some energy shipments to Ukraine in retaliation. The leaders also agreed to form a joint investigative team to assess the pipeline’s condition following a phone call.
