PM threatens to halt supplies of diesel to Ukraine

If the transit of Russian oil via Ukraine to Slovakia is not resumed soon, Bratislava refinery Slovnaft will suspend the supplies of diesel to Ukraine, Prime Minister Robert Fico said. Claiming that Ukrainian Ambassador to Slovakia Myroslav Kastran has been informed about this.

"I told him that we stand by the measures and statements we have made. If the transit of Russian oil via Ukraine isn't resumed in the short term, Slovnaft, which covers one tenth of Ukrainian consumption, will discontinue the supplies of diesel to Ukraine," said Fico.
The Premier noted that nothing prevents Slovakia from importing Russian oil in the next few years. "However, Slovnaft won't be able to export products from this oil to other countries," he added.
