Slovakia’s Robert Fico, a long-time critic of Ukraine’s aid, has embarked on a surprise visit to the Russian capital
Russian President Vladimir Putin has received Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico in the Kremlin. The footage of Putin sitting down for talks with Fico was posted by Russian journalist Pavel Zarubin on Sunday evening. Commenting on the talks, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said he did not know what issues the leaders planned to discuss, but added that “the visit was planned several days ago.” He also did not rule out that the issue of Russian gas supplies to Slovakia, as well as other foreign policy issues, would be on the agenda. “But we will have to wait until the end of the meeting,” Peskov added.
