Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has called for the European Union to urge Ukraine to resume gas transit to Europe.
The rejection of the proposal will significantly complicate Slovakia's acceptance of the conclusions of the European Union summit.
At the meeting of EU leaders, it was stated that Slovakia does not support military and financial assistance to Ukraine if it "leads to the continuation of hostilities."
But a corresponding statement was also made in the context of the "gas" transit issue.
If I see smiles and indifference from European politicians, I may block financial and military aid to Ukraine.
In addition, according to Fico, his government will propose an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine at the summit - "an end to the killings and the start of peace negotiations involving the USA, Russia, and Ukraine."
