Slovakia warns Ukraine it will halt power supplies unless Russian oil transit resumes

Slovakia warns it will halt emergency power to Ukraine if Russian oil flow is not restored by Monday. Kyiv has offered alternative routes during repairs.

Slovakia SKSK's Prime Minister Robert Fico has announced a threat to cut off emergency electricity supplies to Ukraine UAUA unless Kyiv resumes pumping Russian RURU oil to Slovakia via the Druzhba pipeline. Fico has set a two-day deadline, stating that he will instruct SEPS, the Slovak state-owned joint-stock company, to halt electricity exports if the transit of oil over Ukrainian territory is not restored by Monday. This move explicitly ties the continuation of the Slovak electricity sector's support for its neighbor to the restoration of oil transit.
