In particular, it concerns his initiatives to <strong>halt emergency electricity supplies to Ukraine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Gr\u00f6hling noted that this case has gained significant attention due to unprecedented public support.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In addition to my colleagues from SaS, more than 13,000 people have joined this criminal complaint, making it the largest criminal complaint in history,&#8221; he stated.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Fico Complained About Zelensky<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"1\">It is worth noting that recently, relations between Bratislava and Kyiv have soured over energy and financial issues.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"1\">In particular, on March 19, the Prime Minister of Slovakia complained that during the European Council summit, they &#8220;talked about Ukraine&#8221; all day, yet no progress was made on the issue of resuming Russian oil supplies through Ukrainian territory.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"2\">Subsequently, on March 21, Robert Fico resorted to harsh rhetoric against Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and EU leadership. He stated that he &#8220;will not allow himself to be led around&#8221; and threatened that Slovakia could block further loans for Ukraine if the issue of oil transit is not resolved in favor of Bratislava.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The opposition has succeeded in initiating an official investigation into the actions of the Prime Minister.
