The Slovak Prime Minister has threatened to stop supplies of diesel fuel to Ukraine if Lukoil oil supplies are not resumed.
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico met with Ukrainian Ambassador Miroslav Kastran and threatened consequences if Kyiv does not continue the transfer of Russian Lukoil oil. This was stated in a statement by the head of the Slovak government on his Facebook page, published on Monday, July 29.
According to him, he discussed the supply of Lukoil with the Ambassador of Ukraine in the presence of Foreign Minister Yuriy Blanar and Secretary of State Marek Eshtok.
“If the transfer of Russian oil through Ukraine is not restored in the near future, Slovnaft will not extend the supply of diesel fuel to Ukraine, which covers a tenth of Ukrainian consumption,” the Slovak official said.
According to him, the continuation of Russian oil supplies is a “purely technical decision,” but it should be implemented with the participation of several countries.
“The European Union, if it wants to get rid of the total influence of the United States, needs to think about the forms of cooperation with the Russian Federation, which should include cooperation in the field of strategic raw materials,” argues Fico.
As you know, Russian Lukoil has stopped bringing oil to Hungary. Subsequently, information appeared that Hungary “faces a fuel crisis” after Ukraine introduced a partial ban on the transit of Russian oil through its territory.
