SLOVAKIA VS UKRAINE: 'EU Gone Mad...' Fico Slams Brussel's Hatred for Russia Amid Fuel Crisis

Описание: Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico accused the European Commission of double standards and prioritising Ukraine's interests over EU member states amid a deepening energy row over the halted Russian oil transit via the Druzhba pipeline. Fico claimed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky deliberately blocked flows — the second hostile act after gas transit cessation — forcing Slovakia to declare an oil emergency, release strategic reserves, and protect its fuel market, while Brussels issued threats instead of pressuring Kyiv for repairs or verification. Warning that "hatred and obsession with Russia prevail," Fico threatened to withhold support for the EU's 20th sanctions package against Russia and fast-track Ukraine accession unless the pipeline resumes, criticising the Commission's sympathetic stance toward a €90 billion Ukraine loan. The dispute, rooted in a January 2026 Russian strike claim on Ukrainian infrastructure, risks broader Central European fuel shortages and highlights rifts in EU unity over the Ukraine conflict.
