"If oil supplies to Slovakia do not resume by Monday, he will ask the relevant electricity company (SEPS) to stop emergency electricity supplies to Ukraine."

"Given the seriousness of the situation and the declared state of oil emergency in Slovakia, we are forced to take the first reciprocal measure immediately. It will be lifted immediately after the resumption of oil transit to Slovakia."

"Our intelligence services report that the oil pipeline in Ukraine is functional."

"Stopping oil deliveries was a purely political decision with the aim of blackmailing Slovakia."

"But the most important message will be that Slovakia is willing to take up the baton from Hungary if necessary."

"The government of the Slovak Republic will not agree to a sanctions package in favour of Ukraine unless there is a genuine reopening of the Druzhba oil pipeline."

"The government did not agree to this loan and is not participating in it, similar to Hungary and the Czech Republic."

"Ukraine against any attempts to disrupt the flow of Russian oil once the money is approved."

"I would not be surprised if the 90-billion loan were unblocked and then oil supplies were cut off again."

"I assume that this loan could be unblocked, provided that all steps are taken to reopen the Druzhba pipeline."

"trust between Slovakia and Ukraine has been seriously damaged."

"I would not be surprised if the loan for Ukraine is unblocked and then, after a short time, supplies are halted again."

"good news."

"The country would block new EU sanctions against Russia until the pipeline was restored."

"I am convinced that both Slovakia and the Russian Federation can take several steps in the shortest possible time, aimed at restoring standard relations."

"Veo que de nuevo surge un Telón de Acero. Yo apoyo unas relaciones mutuamente beneficiosas y amistosas."
