Earlier this week, Russian President Vladimir Putin had a meeting with Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico in the Kremlin. During their discussion, the topic of potential peace talks between Russia and Ukraine came up. Putin expressed his approval for Slovakia to host these negotiations in the future.
As the war between Russia and Ukraine approaches its third year, Putin sees it as an opportunity for Slovakia to play a role in finding a resolution. He stated that the Slovakian authorities would be more than willing to offer their country as a platform for these talks. When asked about Slovakia's stance on the matter, Putin explained that they hold a neutral position and would not be opposed to hosting the negotiations.
In the European Union, Fico has emerged as a strong supporter of Putin and Russia. Similar to Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, Fico has been vocal about his opposition to the EU's support for Ukraine. He has also been actively working towards building friendly relations with the Kremlin.
Slovakia, along with other Central and Eastern European EU member states, has been supportive of negotiations with Russia. Despite sharing a border with Ukraine, Slovakia has provided military aid to Ukraine in the past. However, this aid was halted by Fico's administration last year.
Overall, Putin's meeting with Fico in the Kremlin has opened up the possibility of Slovakia hosting peace talks between Russia and Ukraine in the future. This could potentially contribute to finding a resolution to the ongoing conflict.
