On the page of the Embassy of Russia in Slovakia on Facebook there was a statement in which the accusation of the Slovak department was called "artificially built". The department claims that the Russian Federation allegedly does not interfere in the internal affairs of other states.

"It is a pity that there are steps in Bratislava to further deteriorate the once friendly relations between our countries, which are already in deep crisis and that the anti -Russian" card "plays an internal political game," the embassy said.

The statement of the Director of the External Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation (SZR) of Sergey Narishkin, published on the official website of the department on September 28, states that recently the administration of President of US US President Joe Biden allegedly "exacerbated interference with the internal political situation in Slovakia.

" According to Narishkin, Washington does not want another "national -oriented Victor Orban" in Europe, so Americans allegedly ordered their EU allies to "carry out purposeful work" to obtain certain results of voting. "Given these realities, future elections in Slovakia can hardly be seen as a democratic and free from the external influence of the will of the people," - summed up the director of the RF.
