Slovakia: Opposition sues Fico over Ukraine power blockade

Source: Politico

“Slovakia’s opposition is suing Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico over his decision to halt emergency power supplies to Ukraine amid a growing diplomatic spat over a key Russian oil pipeline. The chairman of the center-right Freedom and Solidarity party, Branislav Gröhling, said his party had filed a criminal complaint against Fico, accusing him of abuse of his office, treason, terrorism and the ‘violation of duties in the management of other people’s property,’ according to Slovak newspaper Dennik N. … Slovakia has been providing emergency electricity exports to Kyiv to help support its energy sector, which has been crippled by a months-long Russian bombardment. On Monday Bratislava cut off those exports in retaliation for what it claims to be Ukraine’s refusal to resume flows of Russian oil through the Druzhba pipeline …. Ukrainian authorities insist the pipeline was damaged in a Russian airstrike in late January and is undergoing repairs.” (02/24/26)
