Slovakia to veto assistance to Ukraine due to Zelensky’s decision to block gas

 A senior Slovak lawmaker has not ruled out that his country will veto assistance to Ukraine.

"If [Vladimir] Zelensky continues harming our country’s national interests, Slovakia and, probably, Hungary will veto assistance to Ukraine," deputy speaker of the Slovak parliament, Tibor Gaspar, told TASS.

"We cannot tolerate Ukraine doing only what is beneficial to it," he explained, adding that Ukraine should treat Slovakia "as a trusted partner and assistance should be mutual."

"I think all these decisions are solely Zelensky’s," Gaspar noted.

The Slovak news portal Pravda reported earlier that Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico is leaning towards vetoing further EU financial assistance to Ukraine, a decision requiring unanimous support from all the EU countries. These plans stem from Zelensky’s refusal to resume transit of Russian gas via Ukraine.
