Details: According to Rastislav Chovanec, Slovakia's State Secretary at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Fico may also receive valuable information from Putin on how he views efforts to end the war.

Chovanec said that he believed it was necessary at that time to communicate with all parties involved in the conflict and that the EU and European politicians should ensure they were at the negotiating table where a peace agreement would be concluded.

He added that several political leaders, including those from Western Europe, have already begun promoting the idea that dialogue with the Russian leader is necessary.
