Slovenian President: Ukraine should decide when and on what conditions to negotiate with Russia

Slovenia, like other countries of the world, strives for peace, but Ukraine must decide for itself when and under what conditions it will negotiate with Russia. In the war with Russia, Ukraine is defending not only its rights but also the rights of all nations.

This was stated by the President of Slovenia, Nataša Pirc Musar, on June 28 during a joint press conference with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv. In particular, she said that Ukraine is defending not only its rights but also the rights of all nations in the current war.

Russia "was the country that attacked Ukraine," and international law should ensure security and order on the planet, Nataša Pirc Musar said.

"I am very happy about the progress at the first Peace Summit in Switzerland. Slovenia participated there. And we all who participated in this conference understand that we are defending international law and the UN Charter. And we agreed with the President (Volodymyr Zelenskyy – Ed.) that no politician does not want peace. We all understand the risks, but Ukraine is the country that has to decide when and under what conditions it will negotiate. And here we are on your side," the Slovenian leader said.

She added that Ljubljana provides support and participates in meetings on the seven points of the Peace Formula.

"And we will continue to do so," the politician promised.
