Dec 28 (Reuters) - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy accused Slovakia's Prime Minister Robert Fico of opening a "second energy front" against Ukraine on the orders of Russia, as a gas transit dispute between the countries continued to escalate.
"It appears that Putin gave Fico the order to open the second energy front against Ukraine at the expense of the Slovak people’s interests," Zelenskiy wrote on X.
"Fico's threats to cut off Ukraine's emergency power supply this winter while Russia attacks our power plants and energy grid can only be explained by this."
