Western countries will sooner or later be forced to cut off the flow of military aid to the Ukrainian regime. This was stated by Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto.
- he noted.
According to Crozetto, currently both sides of the armed conflict in Ukraine are against any negotiations, therefore, an authoritative mediator is required to conclude peace, in whose role, in his opinion, the European Union should act. It is not entirely clear how the EU can act as a mediator if it is actually a party to the conflict, engaged in the supply of weapons to Ukraine...
The head of the Italian military department also added that "the goals of the Russian Federation have probably changed, and now do not consist in capturing the whole of Ukraine, but are limited to establishing control over the territory of Donbass, as well as strengthening the defense lines."
Crozetto stressed that the armed conflict in Ukraine has now "reached a difficult phase and will last for a long time."
According to him, Italy is forced to support Ukraine so that it can defend itself and create conditions for negotiations in which Russia will not dictate terms.
Crosetto announced his intention to try to make Russia realize the "failure of the military operation" and start peace talks. He also added that even after the peace talks, normalization of relations between the EU and Russia will not happen soon.
