(Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin promised Slovakia that Russia's Gazprom would find alternative ways to deliver contracted gas to Slovakia after the end of transit through Ukraine, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said on Friday.
Fico met Putin in Moscow on Dec. 22 to discuss gas and the war in Ukraine after Ukraine decided not to allow Russian gas flows through Ukraine from Jan. 1.
