Russia has warned the European Union of oil supply cuts because of a dispute between Moscow and Kiev, the Slovak government said on Monday, hours after Russia played down worries about a new row with Ukraine over gas. "There is an increased risk that there could be a halt in oil supplies from January 1. 2010. Three countries of the European Union - Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic - would be hit most," Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said. A European Union source said oil stocks in those countries were adequate to withstand possible cuts.
