He said this on air with the Slovak broadcaster STVR.According to the Slovak minister, the war between Russia and Ukraine has no military solution, so, he claims, it is necessary to return to adherence to international law and seek dialogue with Russia.To this end, the head of Slovakia’s Foreign Ministry suggested that Western countries and Russia may have to forgive everything."Let’s return to adherence to international law and look for ways to communicate with Russia. The West must find a way to cooperate with Russia. And maybe even forgive everything that has happened," Blanár said.Fico supported BlanárSlovak Prime Minister Robert Fico commented on the foreign minister’s statement on July 2."There are things on which he has his own sovereign opinion, and I like that," he said about Blanár.Fico praised the diplomat for "not being a parrot who repeats what is expected of him."Reaction from Ukraine’s Foreign MinistryThe words of the Slovak minister were later addressed by Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha."Russia's sense of impunity is the root cause of its crimes. It's naive to expect a criminal to stop if their crime is forgiven instead of punished. Russia will hit your other cheek as well. And those who have lost no one in this war have no right to make such statements," he wrote on social network X.Recently, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico stated that Bratislava is demanding a postponement of the EU vote on a new package of sanctions against Russia.
