The United States should join the next meeting of the "Coalition of the Willing" to support Ukraine
This was stated by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Censor.NET reports citing Ukrinform.
"It is now important to be able to extend the partial ceasefire to civilian infrastructure, such as schools and hospitals, in order to achieve a complete ceasefire," her office quoted Meloni as saying.
The prime minister reiterated that there is no Italian involvement in the possible deployment of Western military forces in Ukraine.
Meloni "emphasized the importance of continuing to work with the United States to end the conflict and achieve a peace that will ensure Ukraine's sovereignty and security, looking forward to the participation of the American delegation in the next coordination meeting," the Italian Prime Minister's office said.
They also emphasized that today's meeting in Paris "allowed us to reaffirm the commitment of European and Western partners to a just and lasting peace, which requires continued support for Ukraine and reliable security guarantees, which, as the Prime Minister confirmed, must find a foundation in the Euro-Atlantic context, including on the basis of a model that may partially follow what is provided for in Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty."
Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty is a collective defense clause that obliges Allies to defend each other.
