Slovakia is unlikely to stop electricity exports to Ukraine. Such a response to the cessation of Russian gas transit through Ukrainian territory is improbable, states Ukraine's Minister of Energy in an interview with Politico.

Poland is prepared to step up electricity exports to Ukraine if Slovakia’s Prime Minister Robert Fico follows through on his threat to cut off back-up power supplies to the war-torn country, a senior official said on Sunday.

Slovakia will consider reciprocal measures against Ukraine such as halting back-up electricity supplies after Jan. 1 if Kyiv, as expected, stops the transit of Russian gas to Slovakia, Prime Minister Robert Fico said on Friday.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico's threats to cut off electricity supplies to Kyiv won't work, Ukraine's Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko said in a Dec. 31 interview with Politico. Halushchenko's statement follows Fico's declaration on Dec.

Leaders of the two countries have exchanged accusations and threats ahead of an anticipated halt to Russian gas flows via Ukraine

Ukrainian Energy Minister German Galushchenko also says Kyiv can buy electricity from Romania and Poland if it loses supplies from Bratislava.

Ukraine's Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko has expressed doubts about Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico's threats to halt electricity supplies to Kyiv over Ukraine's stance on the transit of Russian gas.
