Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico traveled to Moscow on Friday on a government special flight, where he will attend the Victory Day celebrations and hold talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. According to information from European Union flight operations, the Slovak special aircraft took off and is flying over the Czech Republic and Germany. Due to the ban on overflying the Baltic states, the aircraft had to use a route via the North Sea, Sweden, and Finland to reach Moscow. pravda.sk ↗ pravda.sk ↗
The Kremlin has already announced in advance the topics of the planned talks between Putin and Fico. They will discuss the state and prospects of bilateral cooperation. According to Russian officials, Western sanctions are negatively affecting trade relations between the two countries, particularly due to European restrictions on energy supplies from Russia. Energy security will also be a topic of the talks. Novy Cas ↗
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated on Friday that Vladimir Putin is ready to negotiate with anyone, including Europeans. Peskov added that Russia is open to negotiation processes, but the first step in the reconciliation process should be taken by the West. A military parade was held in Moscow on Friday to mark Victory Day, to which the Kremlin invited only selected journalists. Some Western journalists lost their accreditation for the event, and according to sources from Russian state television, the television broadcast of the parade was aired with a delay. teraz.sk ↗ aktuality.sk ↗
