 Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico announced on Dec. 27 that his government will evaluate potential reciprocal measures against Ukraine, including halting electricity supplies, if Ukraine stops the transit of Russian gas to Slovakia after January 1. ''After Jan. 1, we will assess the situation and the possibilities of reciprocal measures against Ukraine,'' Fico said in a video address. ''If it is unavoidable, we will halt the electricity supplies that Ukraine needs during grid outages.'' He also said that halting gas transit through Ukraine would harm the EU's competitiveness. |
