Ukraine, Meloni: "Was Italy absent from the 'coalition of the willing' meeting? We’re not available to send troops"

Rome, May 16 (LaPresse) – "I want to clarify something regarding the debate over Italy’s absence from the meetings between the UK, France, Poland, Germany, and Ukraine: I must reiterate something I’ve already explained several times — namely, that Italy has long declared it is not available to send troops to Ukraine. It wouldn’t make sense for us to take part in formats that have objectives we’ve clearly stated we do not support. I believe it’s a matter of clarity and consistency," said Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in a brief press point in Tirana on the sidelines of the sixth European Political Community (EPC) summit.
