Russian President Vladimir Putin has endorsed Slovakia as a suitable location for potential future negotiations on resolving the Ukraine conflict. | |
Speaking on Thursday at a press conference following the EAEU summit in St. Petersburg, the Russian leader confirmed that the EU nation was ready to host peace talks. | |
The idea was reportedly floated during Putin’s meeting this week with Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico. | |
Slovakia has consistently advocated a peaceful resolution to the Ukraine conflict, diverging from other EU nations by opposing the supply of arms to Kiev. Its stance positions the country as a potential neutral mediator, according to Putin. | |
“We are not against it,” the Russian leader said, noting that Slovakia takes “a neutral position, from our point of view,” and that it is “an acceptable option.” | |
