Ukraine-Russia war, the Ukrainian president ” Zelensky was very clear in opening a compromise on the two territories of Ukraine and on Crimea, but also on joining NATO. Now it’s up to Putin to take another step towards this Zelensky opening. ” This was stated by Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio speaking at Dimartedì on La7.
” The pure negotiation between Russia and Ukraine does not work because while they sit at the table there is no trust ”, he added, reiterating that ” a table of peace ” is needed, a ” serious and true table that you bring with other international actors in a ceasefire to evacuate civilians from Ukraine, from the bombed cities ” and ” to bring in convoys with humanitarian aid ”. Yes, Russia and Ukraine must participate at the table, but also ” international actors such as the Red Cross and the United Nations who can build a path for a real ceasefire for the entry of humanitarian aid and the exit of civilians ”.
“Not believing in diplomacy is a big mistake,” he added.
” Ukraine has behind all the democracies ” of the world and for this reason ” it can resist the Russian advance ” said Di Maio, recalling that ” we support Ukraine financially ” and we support the ” legitimate right to defend themselves from Putin ”. The minister recalled that “the international community has also condemned Russia in the General Assembly of the United Nations”.
Russia was condemned by the “overwhelming majority of countries in the world” for its invasion of Ukraine, the foreign minister said, recalling that “the European Union has imposed 490 sanctions on the Russian economy”. Sanctions that “are damaging the Russian economy and are preventing Putin from refinancing the war indefinitely”.
