💨 Abstract

Slovakia's Prime Minister Robert Fico criticized an EU plan to halt Russian gas imports by 2027, calling it "absolutely unacceptable" and vowing to veto it. The EU aims to ban new gas contracts by year-end and phase out existing ones by 2027 to cut Putin's war revenue in Ukraine. Fico argued that this would increase gas prices, harming Slovakia and the EU. He also opposes halting Russian oil and nuclear fuel imports.
