Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal announced he is in the Slovak town of Michalovce on April 11 on an official visit.  

Shmyhal met with Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico in Michalovce, which lies just 30 kilometers from the Ukrainian city of Uzhhorod on the Slovak-Ukrainian border.

"Arrived in Slovakia to hold intergovernmental consultations," Shmyhal said on his Telegram channel.

The agenda includes discussions on cooperation in the fields of energy, logistics, and trade, as well as Ukraine's peace formula, Shmyhal said.

The two countries also plan "to sign a number of bilateral documents," according to Shmyhal.

Fico is opposed to providing military aid to Ukraine and was elected in September 2023 on a populist, Ukraine-skeptic platform.

Earlier in April, Fico consolidated his power following the victory of his ally Peter Pellegrini in Slovakia's presidential election.

Following the announcement of the results, Pellegrini said that he would "ensure that Slovakia remains on the side of peace and not on the side of war."

Pellegrini will take over from Zuzana Caputova, who is a strong supporter of Ukraine but opted not to seek re-election.

Russian ex-deputy defense minister arrested on corruption charges.

In his previous position, former Russian Deputy Defense Minister Dmitry Bulgakov was in charge of the military's logistics chains during the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. His dismissal was widely seen as a response to the logistic failures that accompanied the early months of Russia's all-out war.

Сeasefire would leave 25% of Ukraine under Russian control, ambassador says.

"Many countries have proposed the idea of a ceasefire, but no one thinks about what it means. Some 25% of Ukrainian territory would remain under Russian control, which means buying time for Russia to strengthen its capabilities and resume its attacks on Ukraine," Ambassador of Ukraine to Turkey Vasyl Bodnar said.
