Meloni on sending troops to Ukraine: most difficult and least effective way to ensure peace - media
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni believes that sending troops to Ukraine is the most difficult and least effective way to ensure peace.
According to Censor.NET, citing European Pravda, this was reported by AFP sources.
As noted, Meloni said this after joining other European leaders at an emergency summit in Paris.
Thus, according to the source, the prime minister said that sending troops is the "most difficult and least effective" way to ensure peace in Ukraine.
She also emphasized the importance of involving the United States in any discussions on Ukraine and European security.
Peacekeeping forces in Ukraine
Earlier, it was reported that French President Emmanuel Macron would discuss with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk the deployment of peacekeeping forces in Ukraine if an agreement is reached to end the current phase of the war between Russia and Ukraine.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk denied that Polish troops would be sent to Ukraine after the ceasefire.
EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas assessed the possibility of sending a European peacekeeping mission to Ukraine.
Italian Defense Minister Guido Crozetto expressed his readiness to support a peacekeeping mission to Ukraine if peace is achieved.
In turn, Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani called these discussions "premature."
Germany, together with its partners, will consider the possible deployment of peacekeepers in Ukraine as part of "security guarantees" only after the conditions are created, namely a ceasefire with Russia.
The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry has stated that several countries are currently considering participation in a potential contingent of Western allies in Ukraine. However, specific plans for the deployment of foreign troops are still under discussion.
