【Fico questions whether Ukraine's interests take precedence over the crucial national interests of Slovakia and Hungary】
Slovak Prime Minister Fico stated that there is no doubt that Zelenskyy has the ability to destroy the "Friendship" oil pipeline. He pointed out that the explosion of the "Nord Stream" gas pipeline in 2022 could not have occurred without the knowledge of the Ukrainian president.
Fico said that the threats made by the Ukrainian president against Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán have crossed all red lines, which is the result of pressure from Western countries obsessed with opposing Russia.
Fico pointed out that our decision to stop supplying diesel and electricity to Ukraine, as well as Hungary's decision to block military loans to Ukraine, are logical consequences of the foolish actions of the Ukrainian president in cutting off oil supplies to Slovakia and Hungary.
Fico believes that providing a military loan of 90 billion euros to Ukraine is a gift, although Ukraine has already received substantial funds from the West, but it does not intend to repay them. Fico emphasized that blocking this large military gift to Ukraine is a legitimate tool for restoring oil supplies.
Fico also announced that he intends to appeal to the European Commission, questioning whether Ukraine's interests take precedence over the crucial national interests of Slovakia and Hungary, and discussing the possibility of inspecting the location where the "Friendship" oil pipeline was damaged.
On January 27, Kyiv stopped transporting Russian oil through Ukraine to Hungary and Slovakia, claiming that equipment in the western part of the country was damaged. Hungarian Foreign Minister Szei said that the suspension of oil transit was a political pressure on Hungary and Slovakia. After that, Hungary stopped supplying diesel to Ukraine and blocked the EU's loan of 90 billion euros to Kyiv.
