Delegations meet: a step towards peace between Ukraine and Russia

In recent months, tension between Ukraine and Russia has reached critical levels, with devastating consequences for the civilian population and for the stability of the entire region. In this scenario, the meeting between the delegations of the two countries, although it did not see a face-to-face meeting between leaders Zelensky and Putin, represents a sign of openness to dialogue.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni stressed the importance of this meeting, calling it a “first timid step towards a peace process”.

Statements by Prime Minister Meloni

At the end of a meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz at Palazzo Chigi, Meloni expressed her optimism about the future of the talks. “It is positive that the delegations met,” she said, highlighting how dialogue is essential to resolve ongoing disputes. The premier also reiterated the need for continued commitment from the international community to facilitate a lasting peace process.

International reactions

Reactions to the meeting were mixed. Many European leaders welcomed the dialogue between the two nations, stressing that every step towards peace is crucial. However, there are also critical voices who warn that without concrete commitment and tangible measures, these meetings risk remaining only symbolic events. The international community is watching carefully, hoping that this could be the beginning of a path towards stability in the region.
