Premier Mario Draghi told the Senate
on Thursday that Italy will do its utmost for a ceasefire in
Ukraine as he reported to parliament on the war after meeting
United States President Joe Biden at the White House last week.
"We have to achieve a ceasefire s soon as possible to stop the
humanitarian crisis from getting worse and get negotiations
going again," Draghi said.
"That is the position of Italy, of the EU and one that I shared
with Biden".
But the premier also stressed that any settlement has to be
acceptable to Kyiv.
"Italy will move with its European partners and its allies for
all possible forms of mediation," Draghi said.
"But Ukraine will decide what peace to accept, no one else.
Peace without Ukraine would not be acceptable".
