The first details of the negotiations have become known.
Today, February 27, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky is holding a conversation with Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fitzo.
The Ukrainian President's Office reported.
"Right now, the president is talking to Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fitzo. The president invites him to Ukraine to discuss all available issues," the statement said.
Today, February 27, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban spoke with Robert Fitzo. He said that both prime ministers disagree that it is impossible to reopen the Druzhba oil pipeline due to technical problems.
In this regard, Hungary and Slovakia want to set up a so-called "investigative commission" and demand Zelensky's admission to the facility.
The task of this commission, according to Orban, is "to check the reality of the situation that Ukraine claims." He added that the closure of Druzhba threatens the energy security of both countries.
Druzhba oil supplies
We will recall that on February 12, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiga said that Russia had struck the Druzhba oil pipeline. Then oil transit to Slovakia and Hungary stopped.
Then Budapest and Bratislava started blaming Ukraine for everything. According to the Hungarian and Slovak authorities, Ukraine does not want to resume transit, allegedly for political reasons.
Last week, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fitzo threatened to stop supplying electricity to Ukraine. Such threats were made against the backdrop of a very difficult situation with electricity supply in Ukraine due to constant Russian strikes.
On Monday, February 23, Fitzo said that Slovakia was suspending emergency electricity supplies to Ukraine despite the extremely difficult situation in the country due to Russian strikes.
Later, the Slovak opposition parliamentary party Freedom and Solidarity announced that it would file a complaint with the prosecutor's office over Fitzo's decision to stop emergency electricity supplies to Ukraine.
