He first stopped the flow of gas to Slovakia, causing us damage of 500 million euros annually. Now he has stopped the flow of oil, causing us further losses and logistical difficulties,\u201d Fico wrote on his account on the X network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to him, Slovakia cannot accept Slovak-Ukrainian relations as a one-way ticket that benefits only Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf oil supplies to Slovakia are not resumed on Monday, I will ask SEPS, the state joint-stock company, to stop emergency electricity deliveries to Ukraine. In January 2026 alone, these emergency supplies, needed to stabilize the Ukrainian energy grid, were required twice as much as during the entire year of 2025,\u201d the Slovak prime minister said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-serbiantimes-info wp-block-embed-serbiantimes-info\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"CuVmm7yKpj\"><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/mihu-i-dalje-svi-pamte-pogledajte-sta-je-novak-djokovic-objavio-u-njegovu-cast-foto\/\">MIHU I DALJE SVI PAMTE: \u00a0Pogledajte \u0161ta je Novak \u0110okovi\u0107 objavio u njegovu \u010dast!

We are doing significantly more for Ukraine than some other countries,\u201d Fico emphasized. According to him, Zelenskyy treats Slovakia as a hostile country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGiven the unacceptable behavior of President Zelenskyy toward Slovakia, treating it as a hostile country, I consider it absolutely correct that I refused to include the Slovak Republic in the latest military loan for Ukraine of 90 billion euros,\u201d Fico said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Slovak government earlier this week declared a state of emergency in the oil industry due to the suspension of supplies via the Druzhba pipeline and decided to lend up to 250,000 tons of oil from state reserves to the Bratislava refinery Slovnaft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Slovnaft refinery requires between 7,300 and 7,500 tons of oil per day for normal operations, and the state reserves are expected to cover at least one month of operation until alternative supplies are established, Tanjug reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\"
