Rome, July 10 (LaPresse) – "We must increase pressure on Moscow to achieve a ceasefire, which is the only path toward a diplomatic solution. But we must remember that this can only happen through deterrence."

These were the words of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni during her address at the ‘Coalition of the Willing’ meeting, held via video link from the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Rome, alongside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

"It’s not about having a ‘good mood’ toward Russia," she added in her opening remarks in English, "but about putting pressure on Moscow and acting through deterrence."
