A no fly zone over Ukraine at war with Russia? In NATO “we agree to work for peace, to bring Putin to the table, to reach a diplomatic solution to this crisis. We will move towards a no to the no fly zone, because this would directly involve NATO in the conflict” and this “it would involve a conflict at least on a continental level, which would have devastating effects on all of Europe. And we don’t want this. “So the Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maioin Brussels at the end of the NATO ministerial.
Not even NATO, Di Maio underlines, wants a “continental conflict” to break out and “we will work, with increasingly heavy sanctions against Russia, also through military support to Ukraine, and through diplomacyto guarantee peace and stop this conflict “.” The Russians “, continues Di Maio, they tried to divide the EU countries, but “they didn’t succeed. And their nervousness is evident. There is European resistance in Ukraine. Putin’s war is against democracy “.
And not only the EU “is speaking with one voice and NATO” toobut “together they are forming one voice. This union is the greatest deterrent against Putin. And we must continue to demonstrate it,” says the minister.
On tonight’s bombing at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, he explains, “even here at NATO there was discussion of the unacceptable attack by the Russian army on the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, which is located in Ukraine. It is a disturbing fact. , which we strongly condemn “. “What is most disturbing – Di Maio underlines – is that Putin is not only exposing the Ukrainian people or the Europeans, but is also exposing his people. Because damage to the power plant would have devastating effects that would also affect Russian citizens “.
On the energy front, Di Maio continues, Italy “is also involved on a bilateral level. After the trip to Algeria, we will organize new trips together with Claudio Descalzi, to continue Italy’s energy diversification strategy. Because if anyone thought to blackmail Italy on energy, it has the wrong country “.
