Slovakia Urges EU Action to Head Off Russian Gas Transit Halt

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico urged the European Commission to address the looming halt of Russian gas transit through Ukraine, saying the economic impact on the European Union will far outweigh the effect on Russia.
Fico’s letter to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen marks his first attempt to win her personal involvement in the dispute. It included sharp criticism of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy for vowing to block Russian gas flows to avoid supporting Russia’s war against his country.
