“President Biden made a very clear speech, he used strong words” and “we should remember that on the other hand Putin is using bombs, he’s hitting cities in a country he’s invaded with his army”. This was stated by Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio in an interview with In Onda on La7 after the US President’s speech from Warsaw. From Poland, Joe Biden reiterated his support for Ukraine and returned to attack Russian President Vladimir Putin. “NATO and the European Union are compact and strong, and when they are compact and strong, they defend Italy better too,” Di Maio said.
“As you learned yesterday from the head of the Cabinet of Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, the news came that Ukraine will welcome Italy as one of the guarantors of the RussiaUkraine agreement if it will be there,” and “this shows that we are weren’t marginal at all during that period,” Di Maio said, adding: “We were discreet at best, we talked a lot, worked a lot, we worked with diplomacy”.
Di Maio referred to Turkey, “we heard the Chinese, the Israelis, we worked closely with Macron and Scholz, with the United States” and President Draghi’s “telephone call with Putin is going towards coordination at this moment. European “to” ask Putin for a ceasefire and allow us to evacuate civilians,” the “people dying under his bombs,” and “I believe it’s sacrosanct.” “Italy he specified has never made any contact with any partner during this period” in order to continue working for “the goal of peace”.
