10-yr accord with Kyiv, also military support - Meloni

(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 24 - The bilateral security guarantee signed between Italy and Ukraine Saturday "will last 10 years and is the most complete and important one signed with a non-NATO country," Premier Giorgia Meloni told a press conference in Kyiv after inking the deal with President Volodymyr Zelensky.
    Without adding details on Italy's economic commitment, Meloni explained: "We will continue to support Ukraine in what I have always deemed the just right of its people to defend itself.
    "The necessarily also presupposes military support because confusing the much bandied word peace with surrender, as some people do, is a hypocritical approach that we will never share".
