Upon addressing the 26th conference of Slovenian diplomacy, Fajon said that as soon as tensions in the region calm down, the most important thing, in addition to rebuilding Ukraine, will be to restore dialogue with Russia.

According to the minister, it will help us to prevent a cold war in Europe.

We are aware that without Russia, there will be no lasting peace and stability on our continent, so it will need to be part of the discussions about a new security architecture in Europe, she told the audience.

On February 24, 2022, the Russian Federation launched a special military operation in Ukraine about a request for help from the leaders of the Donbass republics.
