Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has publicly accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of attempting to bribe him with €500 million in exchange for Slovakia’s backing of Ukraine’s NATO membership bid. Fico made the explosive allegation during a press conference in Brussels on Thursday, following a private meeting with Zelensky on the sidelines of an EU leaders' summit.

Following the article where there’s normally a brief bio on the author says a lot about the credibility of the source:

First of all, your screenshot isn’t even of a bio.

Source is of little relevance if Slovakia's PM said it himself. What you could question is the bias of the PM.

Is there any other source?

Yeah, definitely question the motive of the PM source too. Sounds less like a “bribe” and more like politics.
