Slovakia is poised to suffer the most from the expected EU decision to stop importing gas from Russia, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said on Radio Slovensko, APA reports citing TASS.
"We will be the hardest hit country," he said.
He criticized the EU's plan to end the imports as "a shot in the knee" and "another harmful ideological decision because of its obsession with Russia." According to Fico, he told the European Commission president about the country’s concerns. The commission acknowledged Slovakia's concerns and expressed an understanding, he said.
The prime minister offered a few comments on Ukraine.
"I think what we need in Ukraine is a swift end to the war. After the European Council meeting, I don't have the feeling that there is much interest in that," he said.
