The moment is crucial. And the fear that there can be “surprises” increases accordingly. But Giorgia Meloni leaves for Washington with the belief that the “glimpse” open from the encounter between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin can lead to some concrete results that at the moment is not yet seen. Continuing to maintain that “unity” of the West preached from the first moment, and continuing to work alongside the United States, you can get to that peace “which ensures the sovereignty and security” of Kiev, which is an Italian, European and Ukrainian objective.
Two essential premises, as Palazzo Chigi pointed out at the end of the call of willing, preparatory of the summit enlarged to the White House with Volodymyr Zelensky: no step “without” Kiev, which must be “involved in every decision relating to its future”. And “solid and credible” security guarantees for Ukraine. Passing through that “article 5” model of NATO which is the idea that Rome has proposed since the first meeting of the coalition convened by Emmanuel Macron in Paris, they do not get tired of repeating in the majority and in the executive. Proposal on which the first to be always cold was precisely the French president, who still points out that “a theoretical article is not enough” and must be accompanied by “a strong Ukrainian army”. But there are no “contrasts”, the most faithful of the premier point out, because the two things are not excluded. Other would be to send troops on the east border of Ukraine, but now it is not the time of divisions.
Staying “united” is essential. Tutele on the model of article 5 of the Atlantic alliance is a proposal on which “in the last few hours all the other international partners are converging, starting from the United States” says with “Pride” the group leader to the Galeazzo Bignami Chamber while the EU minister Tommaso Foti, rejecting the criticisms of the oppositions to the government line after the summit in Alaska, wonders if the left does not know ” Remembering the “defeatist jokes” when Meloni persuasted that solution as the most “suitable to guarantee the safety of the Ukraine itself in the future”. Ensuring protection in Kiev for the future, which is equivalent to ensuring protection for Europe, as the premier repeated on every occasion.
