Slovakia suspends emergency power supplies to Ukraine over oil dispute

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico announced the suspension of emergency electricity supplies to Ukraine until the Druzhba pipeline, which transports Russian oil, is reopened. This decision follows Fico’s ultimatum to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Slovakia and Hungary, reliant on Russian oil, are urging Ukraine to resume oil deliveries, which were halted after a reported drone strike. Fico stated that the suspension would remain until oil transit is restored, linking it to broader political tensions.
