Premier Giorgia Meloni and Deputy
Premier and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani have welcomed the
outcome of talks between the United States and Kyiv in Jeddah
seeking to open the way to ending the war in Ukraine.
"The President of the Council of Ministers, Giorgia Meloni,
welcomes with satisfaction the outcome of the talks held in
Jeddah between the United States and Ukraine, with particular
reference to the proposal for a 30-day ceasefire and the
resumption of US assistance to Kyiv," the premier's office said
on Tuesday.
"Italy fully supports the efforts by the United States, under
President Trump's leadership, towards a just peace that
guarantees Ukraine's long-term security.
"The decision is now up to Russia".
Tajani echoed those sentiments on Wednesday.
"The Jeddah talks are an important step forward on the road to a
just and lasting peace for Ukraine, a peace that Europe wants to
help build," he said.
"The ceasefire and the resumption of US military protection in
Kiev will be the first topics that the G7 foreign ministers will
discuss in Canada, including with US Secretary of State Marco
Rubio.
"We want Russia's aggression against Ukraine to cease as soon as
possible: we Europeans, united with the Americans, can achieve
this".
