AFP - Slovakia said Monday that Russia had warned it might halt oil supplies through Ukraine to three European Union countries over a price dispute.
Quoting a letter from the European Commission -- the 27-nation EU's executive arm -- the government said Russia had announced "the possibility of suspending oil supplies to... Slovakia, Hungary and the Czech Republic."
"The reason is allegedly unresolved problems between the Russian Federation and Ukraine concerning oil transit," the government said.
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has called an emergency meeting of his country's security cabinet, it added.

Oil
This is the main reason why we need alternate fuel, and not depend on foreign oil.
oil cut off to Slovakia
Hopefully there will be no oil cut off since my daughter in law will be visiting her home land Slovakia with my three small grand children. We all live in oil rich Alberta Canada, so all I have to say to PM Robert Fico, "get the problem resolved,and fast".

Glad to see that you are taking a pro-active role in cutting down the number of dubious comments which have been placed on the website in the past.
Well done!!
Possible Russian Oil Cut off
Hey Ho, it must be winter as once again we have Russia stating that they will cut off oil supplies passing through the Ukraine. This has happened nearly every winter for the last few years and can now be seen for what it is - a Russian ploy to put political pressure on the Ukraine not to get to close to the west!!
Again?
Isn't this getting old? We hear this from Russia every year...why haven't we learned and found a different supply??
Oil-supply cutoff
That is OK, so there is no heating in Eastern-Europe, there is a Global Warming in effect, right ? Just ask the CRU and all the activists. So enjoy the balmy winter, Europe ..
