The Prime Minister of Slovakia, Robert Fico, has stated that the European Union should terminate sanctions on Russia regarding oil and gas imports to bolster energy security. Following a call with the Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orban, Fico argued that the bloc must prioritize restoring energy flows through the Druzhba pipeline and ending the conflict in Ukraine.
The EU should renew dialogue with Russia and ensure conditions so member states can get missing gas and oil supplies from all sources, including Russia.
