Final Countdown: Slovakia Warns Of “Economic Damage” As Ukraine NatGas Transit Nears End

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has warned of financial turmoil and emphasized the urgent need to maintain Russian NatGas flows through Ukraine, as a NatGas transit agreement with Moscow is set to expire in the coming weeks.

Fico was quoted by Bloomberg on Wednseday, warning about the end of $525 million in transit fees per year it earns if Russian NatGas through Ukraine stops flowing. He said these fees are critical for state coffers.

“Are we just going to let that pipeline dry up?” Fico said, adding, “In the name of what? Because you don’t like the Russians? Fine, I like them.”

On Tuesday, Slovakia’s state-owned energy company SPP, the country’s largest energy supplier, and its partners in Hungary, Italy, and Austria urged the continuation of Russian NatGas flows through Ukraine.

“The declaration that we have prepared at SPP is intended to support the continuation of gas transportation through the territory of Ukraine and the preservation of its gas infrastructure, because it is the most advantageous solution not only for gas consumers in Europe, but also for Ukraine itself,” said Vojtech Ferencz, Chairman of the Board and CEO of SPP.
