Slovakia: 'Cuts' Electricity to Ukraine Until Oil Deliveries Resume

The Prime Minister of Slovakia, Robert Fico, has ordered the country's electricity grid operator to halt the supply of electricity to Ukraine today, unless the flow of oil through the Druzhba pipeline resumes. This decision is a response to the interruption of oil flow to Slovakia. Fico stated that aid to Ukraine will be resumed once the oil flow is restored. This measure highlights Slovakia's dependence on the Druzhba pipeline for its energy security and the geopolitical tensions in the region.
