Slovakia pledges continued electricity supply to Ukraine at Global Peace Summit

Slovak Foreign Minister Juraj Blanar made a statement on electricity supplies to Ukraine

"No sustainable solution is possible if global players do not cooperate constructively on the basis of the UN Charter and international law," he said, warning of the far-reaching global consequences of Russia's war against Ukraine.

Blanár stressed the importance of Ukraine's “survival as peaceful, sovereign, and democratic state with internationally recognized borders, moving towards EU and NATO membership,” and the need to involve all stakeholders in the peace process.

The June 15-16 Global Peace Summit, initiated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, was attended by over 100 delegations, including 57 heads of state and government, potentially paving the way for future negotiations between Kyiv and Moscow.

The joint communique, signed by 80 countries and 4 organizations, strongly condemned the full-scale Russian invasion, demanded the security and safety of nuclear power plants, the release of prisoners and the return of abducted Ukrainians, and the maintenance of safe commercial shipping in the Black and Azov seas.

On the last day of the summit, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said the communique would “be open for signing by countries” that did not participate and that its text was balanced and included all the principled positions that Kyiv insisted on.
