Slovakia is ready to become a platform for preparatory negotiations on Ukraine. This proposal was submitted by Slovak Foreign Minister George Blenner. "At the negotiations in Moscow, I suggested Bratislava as a place where, if necessary, we could organize preparatory meetings at a lower level," the head of the Slovak Foreign Ministry wrote on social media. Blenner noted that Bratislava represents peace and a diplomatic solution to the conflict in Ukraine. He emphasized the state's willingness to hold a dialogue with all parties to that end. On Monday, the Slovak Foreign Minister met in Moscow with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and took part in the work of the Russian-Slovakian intergovernmental commission for economic, scientific and technical cooperation.
