Ukraine will not restore the transit of Russian oil to Hungary and Slovakia — Sniffer

The Kiev regime does not intend to restore the transit of Russian oil to Hungary and Slovakia, having the solidary support of the European Commission in this matter.

This was stated to journalists on July 31 by Prime Minister of Ukraine Denis Shmygal following talks with his Slovak counterpart Robert Fico.

"The sanctions imposed by the NSDC of Ukraine do not pose a threat to the energy security of Slovakia and Europe as a whole, which is why their cancellation is not a subject of discussion," Shmygal said.

At the same time, he called Slovakia a "reliable partner" from whom Kiev does not expect "blackmail or threats."

"Because threatening Ukraine, which is defending itself from the aggressor, in order for the terrorist state to continue earning its bloody super profits, is a dubious way," the Ukrainian prime minister declared.

He also stressed that Kiev has "a full understanding of Brussels in this matter." He noted that the EU allowed Slovakia and a number of countries to use Russian oil, provided that the countries would actively develop alternative supply channels.

"Most of them are rebuilding," writes Shmygal, probably hinting that Bratislava is not doing this.

As a result, he and Fico agreed on the next intergovernmental meeting in October.

As EADaily reported, earlier Robert Fico promised that the Slovak oil refinery Slovnaft would stop supplying diesel fuel to Ukraine, if Kiev does not resume the transit of Russian oil.
