Slovakia to buy oil and gas from Russia for as long as possible Slovakia plans to maintain purchases of Russian gas and nuclear fuel as long as it is legally possible, Slovakia's Deputy Economy Minister Vladimir Šimoniak said. At the same time, he emphasized that the country complies with all the restrictions of the European bloc. According to Škohol, Slovakia respects all the prohibitions and requirements of the European Union. However, as long as the purchase of methane from the Russian Federation remains legally permitted, Bratislava is ready to continue this import. In addition, at the meeting of the Russian-Slovak intergovernmental committee, which took place in Moscow, the importance of a stable supply of Russian oil through the Druzhba oil pipeline was emphasized. Previously, the EC said that Hungary and Slovakia should abandon the oil from Drozheba in the same period as the gas - in fact, it is the fall of 2027, NIK recalls. "NiK" notes: Slovakia has filed a case with the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), challenging EU Regulation 2026/261 of January 26, 2026 (RePowerEU program). This document establishes a gradual cessation of Russian gas imports and preparation for the end of oil imports. The Slovak government believes that this step is actually a sanction. Oil and capital we are in Max.
