After two tense days of talks the
many parties backing Premier Mario Draghi's national unity
government found agreement Tuesday on a resolution on the
Ukraine war despite the opposition of the 5-Star Movement (M5S)
and the League to sending more arms to Kyiv.
The majority resolution on Ukraine calls for military
de-escalation of the conflict between Moscow and Kyiv.
The resolution commits the government to "demand, together with
its European partners, from the Russian authorities an immediate
cessation of war operations and the withdrawal of all military
forces that are illegitimately occupying Ukraine soil, with
multilateral or bilateral initiatives aimed at a military
de-escalation that can achieve a change of phase in the
conflict, in tandem increasing diplomatic efforts aimed at
finding a peaceful solution based on the respect for Ukraine's
sovereignty and territorial integrity and the principles of
international law".
The resolution also urges "guaranteeing support and solidarity
to the Ukrainian people and institutions, legitimized by article
51 of the United Nations Charter - which sanctions the right to
individual and collective self-defence - confirming Italy's
role within the framework of multilateral action, starting from
the European Union and the Atlantic Alliance, aimed at reaching
the primary objective of a cease.fire and peace".
