This information was reported by Denník N, reports URA-Inform.
In particular, the head of the Slovak defense department said that Kyiv “risks a lot” and called the actions of the Ukrainian authorities “irresponsible” .
At the same time, the Slovak leader emphasized that his country could use “unspecified reciprocal measures” if the issue of oil transit is not resolved, and recalled that Slovakia is helping Ukraine with gas reversal and electricity supplies.
“If the situation does not improve, we will have to react,” — said the President of Slovakia.
In addition, Pellegrini added that his country does not deserve such treatment from Ukraine.
Recall that on July 18, Ukraine stopped the transit of Russian oil through the southern branch the Druzhba oil pipeline, which went to Hungary and Slovakia. This happened due to the strengthening of Ukrainian sanctions against the Lukoil company.
Recall that it was previously reported that Poland gave Ukraine an ultimatum: the head of the Ministry of Defense said what Kyiv must do.
