(Patria) - Moscow is ready to fulfill its obligations and pump oil through the Druzhba pipeline, Russian Ambassador to Slovakia Sergey Andreyev told TASS yesterday.
"Oil supplies to Slovakia via Druzhba are blocked by Ukrainian authorities. Russia has nothing to do with this situation, our position is known to the Slovak authorities: Russia is ready to fulfill its obligations and continue supplies through the pipeline when it is unblocked," he said.
Since January 27, Ukraine has stopped allowing Russian oil through the pipeline, TASS reports.
On February 18, the Slovak government declared a state of emergency due to oil shortages. Bratislava, in response to Kyiv's actions, stopped supplying electricity to Ukraine.
Andreyev said that Kyiv's claims that Russia is allegedly attacking Druzhba are untrue.
"The Russian side is not involved in the discussion on this topic between the Slovak and Ukrainian authorities. There are no alternative oil supply routes for Slovakia that would be comparable to Druzhba in terms of profitability and efficiency," he added.
