What is known?
"Concrete proposals for the peace plan include security guarantees for Ukraine modeled on Article 5 of the NATO Treaty, and this was an Italian proposal that was initially viewed with suspicion by everyone, but then became a proposal included in the peace plan documents.
We continue to do our work seriously, also seeking to offer possible solutions to our allies, and it seems to me that this is an element recognized by everyone," she said.
Meloni noted that Italy has stood by Ukraine over the past several years.
"We have done everything possible to help people defending themselves and, in doing so, also defending us. And this is exactly what we will continue to do, working to build a path to peace that must be sustainable, and on which Italy will not stand idly by," the prime minister said.
Background
