Bratislava, 8 March (TASR) - I'll meet European Commission (EC) President Ursula von der Leyen in Paris on Tuesday (10 March) to convey my views on the issue of oil supplies via Ukraine, Prime Minister Robert Fico (Smer-SD) stated in a video posted on a social network on Sunday.
The premier will again call on the EC to compel Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to allow a visit to the site where the Druzhba oil pipeline is said to be damaged. He will also convey that Slovakia is prepared, if necessary, to take over from Hungary in blocking the European Union's loan to Ukraine.
