Putin proposed Slovakia as a platform for negotiations: Ukraine responds

Russian president-dictator Volodymyr Putin suggested that Slovakia could become a venue for peace talks, claiming that it takes a "neutral position" on the war. However, Ukraine reminded Bratislava about the Peace Formula.

This was stated by Spokesman for the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Heorhiy Tykhyi, during a press conference on December 27.

"From time to time, we hear various statements. I suggest not believing liars at their word," the spokesman said.

According to him, ideas and proposals from different parties and leaders about a platform for talks between Kyiv and Moscow periodically arise in the information space. Tykhyi notes that Ukraine needs a sustainable, just, and comprehensive peace.

"There is the Peace Formula process. We urge all parties that want to help to play their role. Everyone can find their role in these efforts to truly bring peace closer. This applies to all our partners, including the Slovak side in particular," Tykhyi explained.
