Zelenskyy Accuses Slovak PM Fico of Opening 'Second Energy Front' Against Ukraine on Putin's Orders Amid Gas Transit Dispute
Dec 28, 2024, 12:49 PM
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has accused Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico of opening a 'second energy front' against Ukraine, following orders from Russian President Vladimir Putin. Zelenskyy's statement comes in response to Fico's threats to cut off Ukraine's emergency power supply this winter, amidst ongoing Russian attacks on Ukrainian power plants and the energy grid. The Ukrainian leader suggests that these actions are at the expense of Slovakian interests, indicating a prioritization of Russian agendas over the needs of the Slovak people. This accusation arises amid escalating tensions between Kyiv and Bratislava over the transit of Russian gas, with Fico warning of potential retaliatory measures if Ukraine halts the transit of Russian gas to Slovakia after January 1, 2025.
