The Slovak Prime Minister wrote a letter to the EU leaders complaining about the Ukrainian leader for stopping the gas transit.
On December 29, the Prime Minister of Slovakia, Robert Fico, published an “open letter” on Facebook to the leadership of the European Union in connection with Ukraine’s decision to stop the transit of Russian gas, especially to Slovakia.
In the letter, the Slovak Prime Minister wrote to the EU leaders that “the tacit agreement with the unilateral decision of the Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky is wrong and unreasonable.” Fico said this “will lead to tension and revenge.”
“There is no doubt that the unilateral decision of the Ukrainian president will have a significant negative impact on our joint European efforts to keep pace with the rapidly developing countries of the world,” he wrote.
Fico said he did not know if the “ambiguous approach” of the European Commission and most of the member states was based on the fact that the economic consequences of stopping gas transit through Ukraine “have not been professionally assessed , and all this has been analyzed ideologically,” or if such an analysis has been carried out but not openly discussed in the Member States.
The Slovak prime minister argues that stopping gas transit would harm the EU more than Russia, citing “objective and convincing documents” from Slovak oil and gas company SPP.
Fico called on EU leaders to “pay due attention to this unprecedented situation and give it urgency.”
We remind you that Fico threatens to stop the export of electricity to Ukraine because our state refuses to transit Russian gas from January 1, 2025. The Prime Minister of Slovakia made a corresponding statement after a trip to Moscow and a meeting with Vladimir Putin.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said Fico’s threats to cut electricity supplies could cost Slovakia at least $200 million a year, which Ukraine pays for imports.
