Volodymyr Zelenskyy ruled out the possibility of continuing the transit of Russian gas through Ukraine. This was stated by Prime Minister of Slovakia Robert Fico following the EU summit.
“He (Zelensky. —EADaily) absolutely ruled it out and made proposals that seem absurd to me. This is, for example, that he will agree with this only if we do not pay until the end of the war. What kind of fool will give us gas for free?” — He said.
He also stressed that Kiev, blocking the continuation of gas transit through Ukrainian territory, damages the national economic interests of Slovakia. According to him, this could harm the European Union as a whole.
“As soon as Ukraine stops gas transit, gas will rise in price. It will be painful for the whole EU,” the Prime Minister of Slovakia said.
At the same time, he drew attention to the fact that there is no consensus in the community on the continuation of gas supplies through Ukraine.
The contract between Gazprom and Kiev on gas transit through Ukraine ends in December this year. The Kiev regime refuses to extend it. This poses a serious threat to the energy security of a number of European countries.
