Ukraine Will Not Restore Transit of Russian Oil to Slovakia, Hungary - Prime Minister

MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmygal said that he had held several rounds of talks with Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico, during which Shmygal 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," Shmygal said on Telegram on Wednesday.

He added that the parties agreed on another intergovernmental meeting in October to continue "pragmatic dialogue."

Following orders from Brussels. Only Brussels can restore the oil flow. The Big Lie since the Coup is that Ukraine is in charge of anything in Ukriane. It is either the investment firms like Blackrock, the politicans like Lying Biden and Brismuth, or NATO, or the CIA/MI6s.

How about that fake democracy in Ukraine. Now Zelinski wants to hold nation-wide referendum on the peace process, but like magic it would be impossible to have them vote for a new president at the same time, same process.

“Ukraine imported by far the most electricity from Hungary in June, bringing its share to 42%.”
