Slovakia Defends Russian Energy Purchases Amidst Western Pressure

Imagine Slovakia gets most of its fuel from Russia, like oil and gas.

Other countries want Slovakia to stop buying from Russia because of the war in Ukraine.

Slovakia says that it would be too hard and expensive to stop right away, as they have built their infrastructure around Russian energy.

Slovakia says it needs time to find other sources and suggests it needs some understanding.

They point out that some other countries in Europe are still buying a lot of fuel from Russia too.

Slovakia also thinks that trying to change things through force or war won't work, and that talking things out is better.

They also suggested that the war would have already stopped if Trump was still in power.
