(ANSA) - BRUXELLES, FEB 21 - "If the Ukrainian president does not resume oil supplies to Slovakia on Monday, on the same day I will ask the Slovak companies concerned to cut off emergency electricity supplies to Ukraine." Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico writes this on X, accusing Volodymyr Zelensky "in a hostile manner towards Slovakia. First, he cut off gas flows to Slovakia, causing us 500 million euros of damage per year. Now he has disrupted oil flows, causing us further losses and logistical difficulties." "Slovakia is a proud and sovereign country, and I am a proud and sovereign Slovak. If oil supplies to Slovakia do not resume on Monday, I will ask Seps, the state-owned joint-stock company, to cut off emergency electricity supplies to Ukraine. In January 2026 alone, these emergency supplies, which are needed to stabilize Ukraine's energy grid, were requested in double the amount for the entire year 2025," Fico writes. (ANSA).
