Slovakia's reported involvement in assisting Hungary to advocate for the removal of EU sanctions against certain Russian individuals, including the Russian-Uzbek oligarch Alisher Usmanov, has stirred diplomatic debate within the European Union.

This alleged bid by Slovakia to support Hungary in lifting EU sanctions on Usmanov has raised concerns among EU member states about the unity and coherence of the bloc's foreign policy towards Russia. The situation underscores the complexities and challenges of maintaining a common stance on sanctions within the EU.
