Slovakia's Approval of Sanctions: Slovakia will cease blocking the EU's 18th sanctions package against Russia, as Prime Minister Robert Fico stated that further obstruction would be counterproductive after achieving necessary guarantees regarding potential damages from a separate EU gas import phase-out plan.
Details of the Sanctions Package: The new sanctions aim to target Russia's energy revenue and military industry, including a price cap on Russian oil and bans on transactions with Nord Stream pipelines, while Slovakia has received assurances from the European Commission for support in case of gas shortages or price increases.
