The possible duration of the Fico flight to Moscow has become known.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico's flight to Moscow on Victory Day may take up to eight hours. This was reported on May 2 by TASS, citing a source in the air traffic control services of the European Union (EU).

"Depending on the route, the flight time may vary from four to eight hours," the agency's source said.

He noted that a flight over the neutral waters of the Baltic Sea should take almost two times less time than over the Mediterranean Sea, entering Russia from the Black Sea.
