Premier Giorgia Meloni's office said
Tuesday that the prospect of sending Western troops to fight in
Ukraine was not on the agenda after French President Emmanuel
Macron failed to rule out this hypothesis at a security
conference in Paris on Monday.
"The conference organised yesterday in Paris by President Macron
was an opportunity to reaffirm, with the participation of Deputy
(Foreign) Minister (Edmondo) Cirielli, Italy's full commitment
to supporting Ukraine in the struggle to defend its sovereignty
and territorial integrity," the premier's office said in a
statement.
"Ever since the Russian aggression two years ago, there has been
full cohesion of all the Allies in the support offered to Kiev.
"This support does not contemplate the presence on Ukrainian
territory of troops from European or NATO states".
