KYIV, Jan 10 (Reuters) - Ukraine's foreign ministry responded to Slovakia's recent criticism over the end of Russian gas transits through the country on Friday by saying the problem lies with Russia and the unwillingness of "certain politicians" to cut their dependence on Moscow.
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has hit out at Kyiv for the recent cessation of Russian gas transit via Ukraine.
Ukraine, which has grappled with a full-scale Russian invasion for nearly three years, refused to renew a transit deal with Moscow that ended last month.
