Robert Fico Threatens Ukraine Electricity Cut Over Oil Pipeline

Robert Fico issued a two-day ultimatum to Ukraine, threatening to cut off critical emergency electricity supplies unless the transit of Russian oil through the Druzhba pipeline is restored.Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó supported the move by blocking a planned €90B EU loan while accusing the government in Kyiv of blackmailing his country.The standoff follows a month-long disruption that began on January 27 after a Russian drone strike damaged pipeline infrastructure on Ukrainian territory.
