Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said that “a serious conflict could arise” if Ukraine does not allow gas transit through its territory. The prime minister posted a video of his statement on his page on the social network Facebook. RBC reports this.
The contract for the transit of Russian gas to Europe through Ukraine, concluded in 2019, expires on December 31. Then Gazprom and Naftogaz agreed on gas transit for five years with the possibility of extension for 10 years. It is clarified that due to the explosion of the Nord Streams and the suspension of the Yamal-Europe gas pipeline, transit through Ukraine remains the only way to transport gas to Central Europe.

“If Zelensky doesn’t release our gas, a serious conflict could arise,” Fico said.
The Prime Minister of Slovakia did not support the proposal of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky not to pay Russian gas suppliers until the end of the full-scale invasion, saying that “there are no fools to give gas for free.” At the same time, Fico is confident that refusing transit will only make gas more expensive in Europe.
Fico has previously made a statement regarding gas purchases through Ukraine. Then he said that the country “rules out the possibility of transit of any gas, knowingly suspecting that it comes from Russia.” Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, in turn, argued that he “made it clear to [Fico] that Ukraine will be ready to deal with the transit of gas from other countries, but not from Russia.”
Thus, Ukraine is presumably ready to transport gas from Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan through its territory, “if there are appropriate logistics, requests and contracts.” Also, the Ukrainian Ministry of Energy previously stated that together with Poland it is working on the creation of a gas hub, which should become an alternative to Russian gas.
