Slovakia Suspends Emergency Power Aid to Ukraine Amid Dispute Over Russian Oil Pipeline

Slovakia has suspended emergency electricity aid to Ukraine amid a dispute over halted Russian oil deliveries through the Druzhba pipeline, which runs across Ukrainian territory. Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico linked the suspension to Ukraine's failure to restore oil transit, urging the EU to investigate Kyiv's claims about pipeline damage. Ukraine denies responsibility, citing Russian attacks, while Slovak and Hungarian officials blame Ukraine. The dispute risks affecting Slovakia's support for Ukraine's EU membership bid and highlights tensions over energy security during the ongoing conflict.
