The Ukrainian Ministry of Energy has reported that the maximum share of electricity imported from Slovakia reached 1.7% of Ukraine’s total consumption in January 2026. This peak occurred during a period when Ukraine’s energy system was facing significant challenges due to extensive attacks from Russia.
Throughout 2025, the share of Slovak electricity in Ukraine’s energy mix was recorded at 0.6%, while in 2024, it stood at 1%. These figures highlight the fluctuating nature of energy imports amid ongoing conflict.
On March 4, the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded to Slovakia’s announcement regarding the potential termination of an emergency electricity supply contract.

Earlier the same day, the Slovak state-owned company SEPS announced its intention to terminate the contract with Ukraine’s state energy company, Ukrenergo. This decision has been confirmed by the Slovak government, as reported by local media.
