Ukraine Will Not Turn On Russian Oil For Slovakia, Hungary

Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said that he had held several rounds of talks with Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico, during which Shmyhal emphasized Kiev’s determination not to resume the transit of Russian oil to Slovakia and Hungary.

In July, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said that Ukraine had stopped the transit of Lukoil's oil. The Slovak Economy Ministry confirmed that the country was no longer receiving oil from the Russian oil giant, which was sanctioned by Ukraine. 

"The sanctions imposed by the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine do not pose a threat to the energy security of Slovakia and Europe as a whole, which is why their cancellation is not a subject of discussion. Therefore, we have full understanding from Brussels on this issue," Shmyhal said on Telegram on Wednesday.
He added that the parties agreed on another intergovernmental meeting in October to continue "pragmatic dialogue."
