BRATISLAVA, December 27. /TASS/. Slovakia is ready to host the peace talks on Ukraine, Prime Minister Robert Fico said on social media.

"If anyone wants to organize the peace talks [on Ukraine] in Slovakia, then we will be ready and hospitable," Fico said.

Later, in his video address to the people, the prime minister underscored that, during his foreign trips and speeches at international summits, he spoke about ending the conflict in Ukraine. He will continue discussing this issue during the upcoming visit in Turkey in January and the meeting with the Pope in Vatican in February.

"I do not belong and I don’t want to belong to Western politicians that openly support the war. I will never agree to Slavs killing each other in the name of any geopolitical interests. […] I do not understand why the Ukrainian president rejects a ceasefire. I do not understand why the Ukrainian leadership drags the entire country to a catastrophe, because Ukraine’s position at the [potential] negotiations becomes worse every day," the prime minister said.

In his opinion, Ukraine will pay for this venture by losing territories and by the presence of foreign forces on its territory.

"In addition to promoting a ceasefire and the beginning of peace talks, I also offer Slovakia as a suitable country for organization of negotiations at any level at whatsoever," Fico said.
