During a meeting with Slovak Ambassador to Ukraine Pavel Vizdal, Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal assured that Ukrainian sanctions against Russian companies do not threaten Slovakia's energy security.

"I invited Pavel Vizdal, the new Ambassador of Slovakia to Ukraine, to the meeting. He stressed once again that Ukraine's sanctions against Russian companies do not pose a threat to Slovakia's energy security. We remain a reliable partner, and we also do not violate the Association Agreement with the EU," Shmyhal wrote on the Telegram channel.

The Prime minister stressed that Russia continues to engage in energy blackmail, and any dependence on Russian oil, gas or other goods is a huge risk for absolutely all European countries.

"Together with our European partners, we are ready to implement projects that will strengthen the energy security of Ukraine and the EU. We will also work on a plan for joint consultations between the governments of Ukraine and Slovakia, which we plan to hold in October," he added.
