Fico Threatens EU Veto on Russian Energy Ban | JQJO

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico criticized the EU's proposed ban on Russian energy, threatening a veto if unanimous approval is needed. He argued the ban would cause instability and technological issues, claiming sanctions have harmed the EU. Fico attended Moscow's Victory Day celebrations, highlighting Slovakia's stance favoring normal relations with Russia. The EU's proposed ban, targeting gas and nuclear fuel by 2027, requires a qualified majority vote, making a veto by Slovakia alone unlikely.
