Blanar’s direct speech: “Slovakia consistently advocates for peaceful solutions and supports any peace initiatives. That is why this year I also attended the peace summit in Switzerland. All participants agreed with what our government stands for, that further peace negotiations should take place with the participation of all parties, and therefore Russia”.
Details: He added that preparations for the second summit will take place at different levels.
STVR notes that Slovakia has repeatedly stated that it offers its platform for such negotiations.
“In this context, we consider the statement of the Russian president, who admitted that part of the peace talks can be held in Slovakia, as a positive signal for the fastest possible end to this war, bloodshed and destruction,” the Slovak minister said.
He added that the Slovak government also informed its Ukrainian partners about this possibility during a joint intergovernmental meeting in Uzhgorod in early October.
Prehistory:
- On December 26, the head of the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin, said that Slovakia is ready to provide a platform for negotiations on the war in Ukraine and that “Russia is not against it.”
- At the same time, he said that in 2025, the Russian Federation would continue to “achieve all the goals” of the war in Ukraine, and that this was a “priority task.”
- On December 22, the Prime Minister of Slovakia, Robert Fico, came to Moscow to meet with Putin. He said that he informed the EU leaders about his visit.
- The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine stated that the weakness, dependence and short-sightedness of Fico’s energy policy pose threats to the whole of Europe.
