Premier Giorgia Meloni told an
exlusive interview with conservative daily Il Giornale Saturday
that the Group of Seven, which Italy is leading this year and
whose first summit this year she is hosting in Kyiv Saturday,
would move forward at Ukraine's side "for the force of law and a
just peace".
From the Ukrainian capital today, she said, "a message will come
that being on the side of Kyiv means preventing that the
international rules-based system is definitively shattered".
Meloni told Il Giornale that Russian President Vladimir Putin
"can only be convinced to negotiate if the balance of the forces
in the field is guaranteed".
She said that Moscow was responsible for the death of jailed
leading dissident Alexei Navalny.
On the Middle East, Meloni told the formerly Berlusconi family
newspaper that "a long ceasefire and freed hostages are needed
to give a prospect to Gaza, relaunching the two peoples, two
states' solution."
