Details: At a press conference on Wednesday 2 April, Fico announced that he was ready for a telephone conversation with Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal.

"We're ready immediately," Fico said.

He also mentioned that an intergovernmental meeting between Ukraine and Slovakia could be held in either country near the border, although the discussions could focus solely on civilian projects, not weapons.

Background:

• Ukrainian and Slovak officials held intergovernmental consultations last year, first in April in Michalovce, Slovakia, and later in October near Uzhhorod, Ukraine.
• However, Fico later resorted to harsh public criticism of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for stopping gas transit from Russia.
