The European Union should lift sanctions on the import of Russian oil and gas, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said.
Fico added that the EU should also take steps to restore oil supplies through the Druzhba pipeline and end the war in Ukraine in order to combat the energy crisis caused by the war in Iran.
“The EU, and especially the European Commission, should immediately continue the dialogue with Russia and provide such a political and legal environment that individual members and the EU as a whole can compensate for the missing gas and oil reserves and enable the supply of strategic raw materials from all possible sources and directions, including Russia,” Fico said in a statement after a conversation with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
