ROME (ITALPRESS) – “This is a first positive step toward peace.” So said Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Antonio Tajani, when asked by Affaritaliani.it whether the phone call between President Trump and President Putin could soon lead to a ceasefire in Ukraine and whether he is cautiously optimistic, considering also the talks that will begin on Sunday in the Saudi city of Jeddah.
“Italy supports American initiatives aimed at ending the conflict in Ukraine. We look forward to the Jeddah talks, which I hope will lead to a negotiating table with the US, Russia, Ukraine and Europe. Of course, we will continue to support Kiev in this new delicate phase. Italy will do everything possible to achieve a just peace and to ensure, then, the security of Ukraine and Europe in a transatlantic vision,” concluded Forza Italia secretary and Farnesina holder Tajani.
