European Globalists hate Russia more than they love themselves.
Even before the military confrontation in Iran began, Europe was already mired in a deep energy crisis, coming from the fact that it shut cheap Russian gas out, while at the same time indulging in its ‘Net-zero’ fantasies, shunning oil for ‘renewables’.
So now, with the Strait of Hormuz effectively closed and rising oil prices, the situation is about to cripple the old continent’s economies.
But for the outspoken Prime Minister of Slovakia, Robert Fico, the solution is straightforward: the European Union must end sanctions on Russian oil and gas imports, take steps to restore the Druzhba oil pipeline flow , and end the war in Ukraine.
The European Commission is attacking Slovakia’s key interests and, in coordination with Zelenskyy, is incomprehensibly endangering the energy security of the continent. pic.twitter.com/2G7BSrX3h9

Reuters reported:
“Fico said in a statement after a call with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban that the EU should renew dialogue with Russia and ensure conditions so member states can get missing gas and oil supplies from all sources, including Russia.
Hungary and Slovakia’s leaders are outliers in the EU for maintaining relations with Moscow.
Oil prices have surged since U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran started on February 28, holding up shipments from the Gulf and creating, what the International Energy Agency called the biggest oil supply disruption in history.”
I AM NOT CALLING FOR ANYTHING ELSE BUT THE RETURN OF COMMON SENSE. THE ENTIRE EU, AND ESPECIALLY THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, ARE BEGINNING TO RESEMBLE A SHIP OF SUICIDES WHEN IT COMES TO ENERGY SECURITY.
Today’s phone call with Hungarian Prime Minister @PM_ViktorOrban also…

“I AM NOT CALLING FOR ANYTHING ELSE BUT THE RETURN OF COMMON SENSE. THE ENTIRE EU, AND ESPECIALLY THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, ARE BEGINNING TO RESEMBLE A SHIP OF SUICIDES WHEN IT COMES TO ENERGY SECURITY.
Today’s phone call with Hungarian Prime Minister @PM_ViktorOrban also confirmed that we cannot fight the massive energy crisis at the national level alone.
Nevertheless, the governments of Slovakia and Hungary are doing everything they can to protect their national economies and citizens from the ideological blindness and incompetence of the European Commission, the ill will of the Ukrainian president, and the consequences of the war against Iran.
The EU, and especially the European Commission, should immediately resume dialogue with Russia and ensure such a political and legal environment that individual member states and the EU as a whole can replenish missing gas and oil reserves and enable supplies of these strategic resources from all possible sources and directions, including Russia.
Therefore, the senseless sanctions prohibiting the import of gas and oil from Russia should be lifted, a separate EU initiative to rapidly end the war in Ukraine should be launched, and decisive steps should be taken to restore the operation of the Druzhba oil pipeline.”
