"Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said on Thursday he would question Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky over the halt of fuel supplies to Slovakia, amid an ongoing dispute over the Druzhba pipeline. "Volodymyr, do you really want to lose the support of the Slovak Republic in your European ambitions? Because you are losing the support of the Slovak Republic in European ambitions," Fico noted, during a meeting with students in Spisska Nova Ves. The two leaders are expected to hold a phone conversation on Friday. Fico further rejected criticism of Bratislava for its continued purchases of Russian LNG, citing similar moves by Western Europe and the United States, while arguing that sourcing energy elsewhere would sharply increase costs. The PM went on to question the current EU leadership, including the foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and called for changes to the board. "When the former Estonian Prime Minister Kallas was proposed as the Foreign Affairs Minister of the European Union, I said, what kind of nonsense is this? The result? Absolute zero. Nobody meets with her," Fico remarked. "There must be a change in the head of the European Commission. There must be a change in the Minister of Foreign Affairs. It is very important to discuss the functioning of the European Union as such," he emphasised. Fico also challenged the internal dispute among EU members and their unanimous votes, particularly concerning the €90 billion loan package planned for Ukraine. Earlier, neighbouring Hungary vetoed the 20th sanctions package against Russia, and said it would block the latest loan package for Ukraine too. Hungary and Slovakia have accused Ukraine of deliberately halting oil supplies via the Druzhba pipeline from Russia for political reasons - while Kiev claims the line was damaged by a 'Russian attack'. On Wednesday, the EU said European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen had urged Zelensky to 'accelerate' repairs."
