Putin shows openness to peace talks in Slovakia as middle ground in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has indicated openness to peace talks between Russia and Ukraine hosted by Slovakia, following a proposal by Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico. Fico, known for opposing EU support for Ukraine, offered Slovakia as a neutral venue for negotiations. Putin stated that Russia is open to talks but will continue to pursue its goals in Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has criticized Slovakia's friendly stance towards Russia since Fico's return to power. The proposal comes amid ongoing efforts to resolve the conflict, which began in February 2022.
