This makes Slovakia the ninth EU country with such an approval, after the Netherlands, Lithuania, Estonia, Denmark, Belgium, Slovenia, Czech Republic, and Croatia. Ráž emphasized that it is not a fully autonomous system and that the responsibility remains entirely with the driver.

Germany will have to wait longer, wrote FSD(TAD)WatcherDE. #Tesla #TAD #FSD #Tesla #FSD #Slowakei (translated)

If there were bases in Slovakia with connections to the GRU (Russian military intelligence), it would not be surprising given the government's pro-Russian policies and the reputation of the Slovak intelligence service. Vladimir Snidl from the newspaper "Dennik N" thinks: "If there were bases in Slovakia with connections to the GRU (Russian military intelligence), it would not be surprising given the government's pro-Russian policies and the reputation of the Slovak intelligence service." #Slowakei #Russland #Militärkontakte (translated)

"Representatives of this government coalition are trying to convince us that a Russian general is coming here to tend graves, while our general will allegedly be conducting important intelligence operations over there, for which all our allies around the world - yes, even in the galaxy - will be grateful to us," explained MP Juraj Krúpa from the right-liberal opposition party "Freedom and Solidarity" (SaS) ironically on Friday in Bratislava. #Slowakei #Russland #Militärbeziehungen (translated)

Regina Laska wrote that Donald Trump promised hundreds of thousands of tons of Russian diesel after a phone call with Vladimir Putin. The U.S. Treasury then allowed an exemption from the sanctions. Given the midterms in four weeks and a diesel price at record levels, Laska interpreted the move as a possible campaign maneuver. In mid-September, Trump publicly called on Volodymyr Zelensky to stop attacks on Russian refineries. According to a Reuters report led by Laska, at that time three of the six largest Russian diesel refineries were shut down or operating at limited capacity. She also pointed to a Russian export ban on diesel until the end of October and noted that Russia imported almost seven times as much diesel from Belarus from January to July as in the same period of the previous year. Deputy Prime Minister Novak is now talking about surpluses, she wrote; however, it is unclear whether the announced delivery quantities and deadlines will actually be met. Zelensky offered to stop Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries if Russia ends its attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure. Laska referred to this as a symmetrical de-escalation offer that is on the table for the Americans. She also cited rocket attacks on a residential building in Pryluky, glide bombs on city buses in Kramatorsk, and shelling of the energy supply in Kyiv, Dnipro, Kharkiv, and Odesa. She warned that Russia would respond to the diesel with terrorism. The EU also criticized Laska: On September 22, Usmanov and Fridman were removed from the sanctions list under pressure from France, Slovakia, and Luxembourg. According to Laska, Zelensky pointed out that the attacks had since increased. At the same time, the EU extended the remaining personal sanctions from six months to three years. Latvia had long resisted the compromise and ultimately paved the way for it by abstaining. Laska compared Trump's diesel concession to Russia with the European compromise in favor of unanimity. In her view, the costs of such agreements are borne not by their authors but by the people in Pryluky, Kramatorsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Oleshkiv. #Trump #Putin #Dieselpreise (translated)
