Giorgia Meloni: The capitulation of freedom's defenders is not peace

Rome's position on a peaceful settlement

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni expressed her view on the issue of a peaceful settlement of the situation, emphasising the importance of supporting Ukraine. In her words, assistance to Kyiv does not contradict the idea of peace but, on the contrary, contributes to its just achievement.

Distinguishing concepts

The head of government distinguished between the concepts of peace and capitulation. Meloni emphasised that she cannot agree with the notion that giving up the fight for one's own freedom can be qualified as peace. "No one will convince me that the capitulation of those who defend their freedom can be called peace," the Prime Minister stated.
