Russian President Vladimir Putin has confirmed the reliability of Russian energy supplies to Slovakia during a meeting with Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico in Beijing.
“I would like to note that Russia remains a reliable supplier of energy carriers, but your companies also continue to work, and not without success, on the Russian market, which is also, in my opinion, useful for the Slovak economy as a whole,” Vladimir Putin said.
The Russian President noted the independent political will of Robert Fico’s government.
“We very much appreciate the independent foreign policy pursued by you and your team, your government. The policy gives a positive result. First of all, of course, I mean economic indicators,” the Russian leader added.
Earlier, Politico reported that the EU was trying to pressure Hungary and Slovakia to support the adoption of the 19th package of sanctions against Russia.
