Zelensky’s Gas Transit Halt: ‘Politically Motivated Move to Please West’ – Slovak Officials Outrage
Slovak officials have strongly criticized Ukrainian President Zelensky's decision to halt Russian gas transit through Ukraine, calling it a politically motivated move aimed at appeasing the West.
According to the two Slovak politicians, this action is detrimental to smaller EU nations, including Slovakia, which are now facing energy shortages.
With rising tensions and economic impacts on the EU, the move has sparked outrage and heated debates about the true cost of Western-aligned policies.
Watch for an in-depth look at the controversy and the consequences for Europe’s energy future.

Hungary and Slovakia have issued a joint letter to the European Union sharply criticizing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky after Ukrainian drones struck the Druzhba oil pipeline — a key energy lifeline for Central Europe. The move has fueled speculation that Budapest and Bratislava could distance themselves from Kyiv and shift their stance within NATO and the EU.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has rattled Kyiv and EU capitals with his latest declaration: Slovakia will not send U.S. weapons to Ukraine and firmly rejects the idea of funding arms deliveries through the European Union. While reiterating support for Ukraine’s EU membership bid, Fico opposed its NATO accession and called instead for direct peace talks with Russia.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has shocked Kyiv and EU leaders by declaring that Slovakia will not support sending U.S. weapons to Ukraine at the EU’s expense and firmly opposes Ukraine’s accession to NATO. While Fico reaffirmed support for Ukraine joining the European Union, he criticized current Western strategies, called for peace talks involving Russia, and warned against what he described as a dangerous arms-funding model.

A major escalation in Europe’s energy war: Russian crude oil flows to Hungary and Slovakia through the Druzhba pipeline have been suspended after an alleged Ukrainian attack on a transformer station. Hungary’s Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó called the disruption “outrageous and unacceptable,” while Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry implied Hungary should blame Russia for starting the war. The halt comes just days before Trump, Zelensky, and EU leaders are set to meet — raising fresh questions about NATO unity, Europe’s energy security, and the future of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has issued a chilling warning: Ukraine’s potential EU membership could drag Hungary and the entire Eastern European region into war. Speaking bluntly, Orban said Ukraine’s entry would turn Hungary into a battlefield, risking the lives of young Hungarians and destabilizing regional peace. Despite Ukraine’s 2022 EU candidacy and Brussels pushing for 2030 accession, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia have voiced serious opposition, citing security, financial, and political consequences.
Orban also slammed the EU's seven-year budget proposal, claiming it's designed to fund Ukraine’s membership and could devastate the bloc. Hungary has already blocked several EU military aid packages to Kyiv and insists on a ceasefire. A recent referendum showed 95% of Hungarians oppose Ukraine’s EU entry. With mounting pressure from Brussels, Orban’s words now echo across a fragile Europe—will Ukraine’s EU dream come at the cost of continental peace?
