- Slovakia ultimately did not join a commission dealing with compensation for postwar Ukraine.
- The opposition says Russia warned Slovak diplomats that participation would be considered an unfriendly act.

Slovakia is absent from a commission dealing with compensation for postwar Ukraine after the government dropped plans to discuss joining it, the opposition says.
Russia reportedly warned Slovak diplomats in July that participation would be viewed as an unfriendly move. Several weeks later, Robert Fico's government intended to consider joining the commission, but the proposal ultimately went no further.
The opposition says the Kremlin's warning explains why Slovakia did not join.
