I expect tomorrow something can be hinted at, because suddenly there is a topic of invitation of Ukraine to NATO," the prime minister said, but in his opinion, this invitation will not be “free”. The Slovak Prime Minister repeated that he wants a just peace to Ukraine, but not sure that he could be achieved in the current situation.

In Kiev, this idea was rejected.
