Government sources: 'Sending troops to Kiev is not on the agenda'

"Italy has always said that sending Italian troops to Ukraine is not on the agenda. After that, if tomorrow there were to be a UN mission with contingents from various countries, we could perhaps reason about it. But it is not on the agenda, it has never been discussed". This is what government sources say, defining the reconstructions on the evaluations of sending troops as "totally unfounded news". "This debate does not exist within the majority", the same sources clarify.

Fazzolari, France's hypothesis on troops in Kiev is not effective

Sending European troops to form a military cordon in Ukraine "is a hypothesis that France has supported for some time. Italy does not consider it the most effective solution. As far as I can remember, there has never been an international interposition force between two armies of this size. On both sides there are more than a million armed soldiers and I do not see what the interposition force between these two armies is". This was stated by Giovanbattista Fazzolari, undersecretary for the Implementation of the Program, on the sidelines of the press conference on the Poligrafico medal "Two years of Ukrainian resistance". "An international mission with a UN hat in a context of peace is another matter - he added -. Italy has carried out peace missions of this kind several times, if anything, it will be discussed, and it will also be discussed with Italy. But it is not on the agenda today"
