The agenda of the negotiations should include, among other things, the supply of natural gas to Slovakia and the war in Ukraine, the report said.
It is stated that Poland prohibited the flight of the delegation over its territory, so the plane was diverted and flew over the Czech Republic and Germany.
“I don’t understand this approach, but this is a reality that needs to be accepted,” said Deputy Speaker of the Parliament Andriy Danko, commenting on the decision of the Polish authorities.
Earlier, Andrei Danko noted that Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico started a dialogue with Russia during his visit to Moscow, and this dialogue will continue at the level of the parliament.
The return of the Slovak parliamentary delegation from Russia is scheduled for Wednesday, January 15.
The day before, Slovak President Peter Pellegrini refused to go on an official visit to Kyiv due to the fact that Ukraine stopped supplying gas to his country.
Ukraine stopped the transportation of Russian natural gas through its territory on January 1 at 07:00 “in the interests of national security”.
The main European importers of Russian gas, Slovakia and Austria, have already secured alternative supply routes, although Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has declared “dramatic consequences” for the entire European Union, demanding the resumption of transit. The Slovak prime minister did not rule out retaliatory measures.
The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi, in his turn assumed that Robert Fitso, who was received by Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin, “received an order to open a second energy front against Ukraine.”
