Slovakia's PM says they have requested the stop of emergency electricity supplies to Ukraine

• Adds that they are forced to proceed with first reciprocal issue measure against Ukraine; it will be cancelled after resumption of oil transit to Slovakia.

Slovakia's PM's statement on halting emergency electricity supplies to Ukraine represents a significant escalation in regional tensions. This move, which is conditional on the resumption of oil transit to Slovakia, could further strain energy markets as it highlights vulnerabilities in energy dependencies within the EU. Traders should monitor how this develops, particularly for implications on regional energy prices and potential responses from Ukraine or other EU members.
