Fico Threatens To Cut Ukraine's Emergency Power As Russian Oil Transit Fight Escalates
Slovakia's populist Prime Minister and pro-Trump ally Robert Fico has drawn an unexpectedly hard line in his country's ongoing energy showdown with Ukraine: restore Russian oil flows, or else a key emergency electricity lifeline for Ukraine gets pulled.
In a weekend post on X, Fico warned that unless Ukraine resumes pumping Russian crude to Slovakia by Monday, Bratislava will cut off its emergency power exports. This is an immense threat given current frigid subzero temperatures in war-ravaged Ukraine.

India Boosts Saudi Oil Imports, Slows Russian Buying, Amid US Pressure
Via The Cradle
Saudi crude shipments to India are set to reach their highest level since 2020 this month, narrowing the gap with Russian supplies as New Delhi faces ongoing US pressure to reduce its purchases of Russian oil, according to data from Kpler cited by Bloomberg on Friday.
Flows from Saudi Arabia are projected at between 1 million and 1.1 million barrels per day (bpd), Kpler lead research analyst Sumit Ritolia said, describing the volumes as the strongest since November 2019, bringing Saudi exports broadly in line with Russian deliveries.

Kpler estimates Russian crude shipments to India at around 1.2 million bpd this month, which would keep Moscow as India's largest supplier, though at levels well below the more than 2 million bpd seen at peak periods over the past three years.
