In particular, according to the Truth, it will consist of four Eurofighters and over 1200 men, mainly Bersaglieri who will be stationed in Romania, on the east flank of NATO. Our country, the Truth always writes, also strengthens the presence in Latvia and the surveillance of the Black Sea. But as Repubblica explains, “it does not mean that Draghi has made a light-hearted decision. And in fact, he is not in a hurry to officially communicate the turning point. The premier in fact breaks with a consolidated tradition, but one could say so. same for the war brought by Russia into the heart of Europe. Not an easy decision, also due to the effects it will have on relations with Putin. Still, an obligatory decision: not only for transatlantic relations and NATO, but to cement the European perspective opened by this serious crisis “.
