"After Jan. 1, we will consider the situation and the possibility of reciprocal measures against Ukraine," Fico said. " If it is unavoidable, we will stop the supply of electricity, which Ukraine urgently needs in the event of grid failures," he said.
Fico said that the end of the Russian gas transit will drive up costs for the EU and hit the bloc's competitiveness. It would also increase energy prices in Slovakia, he said.
"But who cares about Slovakia, right, Mr. Zelenskyy? But when you need something to keep you from freezing in the winter, you scream in frustration," Fico hit out at the Ukrainian leader.
Kyiv has refused to renew a transit deal with Russian state energy giant Gazprom that allows Moscow to ship supplies of natural gas through its network of pipelines to countries like Slovakia and Hungary. Putin also has said he expects the contract to come to an end.
