Ukraine, Tajani: "There is still much to do to reach a peace agreement. A united Europe and a strong transatlantic bond."
"Everything depends on Moscow. There is still much to do to reach a peace agreement ." With these words , Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani responded to Affaritaliani 's question on whether he was confident that an end to the war in Ukraine could be reached, on the day of the meeting in Washington between US President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Zelensky, and several European leaders, including Giorgia Meloni.
"Russia's continued bombing of Ukrainian civilian targets is not a sign of concrete willingness. A united Europe, in a solid transatlantic bond, will continue to support Kiev and its cause to achieve a just peace. Aid to Ukraine will continue at this stage. It is clear that no peace agreement can be reached without Kiev ," the Foreign Minister added.
"Looking ahead, Italy continues to support the need to ensure Ukraine's security (which is also Europe's security) through an agreement that mirrors NATO's Article 5, providing for mutual aid among signatories in the event of military aggression . This proposal is gaining increasing support. We naturally support the American effort for the tripartite meeting," Minister Tajani concluded.
