The Slovak government maintains a non-committal stance regarding alleged Russian-linked cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructure, energy, and industrial sectors. The Progressive Slovakia (PS) party has requested a Security Council meeting, but the attribution of attacks to Russian actors remains unconfirmed by forensic evidence. Concurrently, municipal procurement reforms are proceeding, indicating a divergence between local administrative focus and national security policy.
