Threats of Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico will not stop electricity imports to Ukraine. Instead, his policy could harm Slovakia itself, believes President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy. “It appears that Putin gave Fico the order to open the second energy front against Ukraine at the expense of the Slovak people’s interests.

Zelensky said this was "the only possible meaning" of Fico's threats to cut off Ukraine's emergency power supply in the winter, given Russian attacks on power plants and the distribution network.

It seems that Russian President Vladimir Putin has instructed Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico to open a second energy front against Ukraine. This was stated by the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky.
