Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico plans to convince Ukraine not to stop gas transit at the end of 2024, when Ukraine's transit agreement with Gazprom expires.
Aktuality portal cites his words.
Fico said that he does not rule out problems with the supply of gas to Slovakia, which it receives in transit through Ukraine, from the beginning of 2025, and that at the intergovernmental meeting on October 7, he will convince Kyiv to preserve the transit.
"We will convince Ukrainian partners to use their energy infrastructure to import gas and oil to Europe... If it (Ukraine) wants to preserve this infrastructure, it must be used," Fico said.
He noted that Slovakia supports Ukraine's European integration and expects friendly steps from Ukraine.
"Both Slovakia and Ukraine would benefit from this, because a fee is paid for transit," Robert Fico said.
It should be noted that Fico talks about "saving transit", avoiding the mention of russian gas.
