Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "During our today’s call, I informed my Slovak counterpart Juraj Blanár about Russia’s intensified strikes against Ukraine and our energy system. I expressed gratitude for Slovakia’s energy assistance, which is strengthening Ukraine’s resilience ahead of winter. We discussed our mutually beneficial economic cooperation and the implementation of the agreements reached during the recent contacts of our leaders and bilateral intergovernmental consultations. I thanked Slovakia for supporting our European integration—and for treating it as its own national interest."
