The Russian Defense Ministry said the Ukrainian army used US-made missiles (ATACMS) for the first time since the start of the war during an attack on Russian territory. The US choice, said Giorgia Meloni, is a “response to the unprecedented aggression on the part of Russia, especially on the eve of a G20 in which Russia participates”. Italy, the Prime Minister specified, “made another choice, we have always been focused on the issue of anti-aircraft defense”, although she admits that she understands the point of view of other nations. This is a topic on which the leader of the Brothers of Italy spoke at a press point in Rio de Janeiro, on the sidelines of the G20 work.
The prime minister, under pressure from journalists, assured that Italy “will be at Kiev’s side” “as long as there is war”. Will Italy confirm the shipment of weapons to Kiev with a new legislative decree to be voted on at the end of the year? “As I have said a thousand times, as long as there is war in Ukraine we will be on Ukraine’s side,” said the prime minister. “On the issue of the possible American disengagement” in Ukraine “I believe that we must wait and see what happens and I believe that we must do everything possible not to divide the Western front – he underlined – This is the challenge that we must pose to ourselves and I believe which is a challenge we can achieve.”
As for the head of the Kremlin, Meloni used clear words: “I was not scandalized by Scholz’s phone call to Putin, it is not the first time that a Western leader has spoken to Putin. they are in line with support for Ukraine and it seems to me, from what the chancellor told me about the content of the phone call, that there was no desire for dialogue on Russia’s part. Therefore – he added – the issue is not talking and. not speaking: things are never that simple from my point of view The problem is speaking to say what and objectively today I don’t believe that Putin is open to any form of dialogue, but this at least helps us clarify the reality in what he says respect for the propaganda we read. last few months.”
