Bratislava, February 23 (Xinhua) — Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico on Monday asked the state-owned national electricity system operator, SEPS, to suspend emergency power supplies to Ukraine amid a dispute over oil transit through the Druzhba pipeline, the Slovak News Agency reported.
"From today, if the Ukrainian side asks Slovakia for assistance in stabilizing the Ukrainian energy grid, it will not receive such assistance," R. Fico stated on social media.
According to him, this decision will be reversed immediately after oil supplies to Slovakia are resumed. "Otherwise, we will take further reciprocal measures," the Slovak prime minister added.
Ukrainian officials reported that oil supplies to Slovakia and Hungary were suspended following the attack on the Druzhba pipeline on January 27. Slovakia later declared a state of emergency in the oil industry and accused Ukraine of deliberately cutting off oil product supplies through the Druzhba pipeline.
