“If the Ukrainian president does not resume oil supplies to Slovakia on Monday, on that same day I will ask the relevant Slovak companies to stop emergency electricity supplies to Ukraine,” said Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico.
He accuses Zelensky of refusing to understand Slovakia’s approach toward peace, and “because we do not support the war, he is behaving maliciously toward Slovakia,” first shutting down natural gas pipelines and now turning the spigot on oil supplies.
He points out that the emergency supply from Slovakia during January 2026 alone was more than double Slovakia’s electricity exports to Kiev in the whole year 2025.
“Given President Zelensky’s unacceptable behavior toward Slovakia, treating it as a hostile country,” he concludes, “I consider it absolutely correct that I refused to involve the Slovak Republic in the latest €90 billion military loan for Ukraine.”
