(ANSA-AFP) - ROME, FEB 26 - Italian Prime Minister Giorgia
Meloni said Wednesday that any peace deal in Ukraine must
include "security guarantees", to be "implemented in the context
of the Atlantic alliance", a reference to NATO.
Peace in Ukraine "can only be achieved if Kyiv is given
adequate security guarantees to make sure that what we have seen
over the past three years does not happen again," she said in a
statement to the press following a meeting in Rome with Sweden's
Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson. Such guarantees are necessary
"to make sure that the European nations that feel most
threatened can instead feel safe", she said. "These security
guarantees must be implemented in the context of the Atlantic
alliance because I think that this is the best framework to
guarantee a peace that is neither fragile, nor temporary, and
that precisely averts the risk that Europe could soon relapse
into the drama of war". Meloni's comments come as Britain and
France try to convince US President Donald Trump to provide
security guarantees for Ukraine as part of any ceasefire
agreement with Russia. (ANSA-AFP).
