Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow to discuss the impending expiration of a natural gas supply deal, a visit underscored by Slovakia's efforts to secure gas transit through Ukraine. Putin indicated that while Russia is ready to continue gas deliveries, complications arise from Ukraine's demands and its refusal to allow Russian gas transit without assurances against Kremlin profits during wartime. This meeting marks Fico's first direct engagement with Putin since 2016, amid criticisms from neighboring countries regarding relations with Russia.
