Just and lasting peace in Ukraine is impossible without security guarantees from NATO, - Meloni
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said that peace in Ukraine is possible only if Kyiv is provided with security guarantees, in particular within NATO.
This is reported by ANSA with reference to Meloni's statement after a meeting with Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson in Rome, Censor.NET reports.
"Efforts must be made to lay the foundations for a just and lasting peace in Ukraine, which will come only when Kyiv is provided with adequate security guarantees to make sure that this does not happen again and that European countries that feel threatened can feel safe," Meloni said.
The Italian Prime Minister emphasized that these guarantees should be implemented within the framework of NATO, as she believes that this alliance is the most effective means to ensure a stable peace.
"I have always said and I believe that these security guarantees should be implemented within the Atlantic Alliance because I think that is the best framework to guarantee a peace that is neither fragile nor temporary, so that there is no longer a risk that Europe could be plunged back into the drama of war," Meloni said.
She also noted that alternative security options look more complicated and less effective.
"Other solutions, as I said, seem to me to be more complicated and, frankly, less effective," she concluded.
