According to Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, this happened after he expressed concern about possible losses of 500 million euros for Slovakia due to a decrease in gas transit. However, the prime minister assured that he rejects such a proposal.
Fico also raised the issue of gas transit through Ukraine, noting that Slovakia may consider measures against Ukraine if it does not continue transiting Russian gas to Europe. The prime minister noted that amid Ukraine's refusal to accept gas that could finance the war, the country could face a gas crisis.
