"It will help reveal Putin's possible bluff": Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni insists on extending Article 5 of the NATO Treaty to Ukraine. "I have taken a clear position on both the ineffective proposals of other countries and the proposals put forward by Italy, namely the extension of NATO Article 5 to Ukraine: this seems to be the simplest and most effective proposal of all, also because it will help to reveal Putin's possible bluff. If Russia has no plans to invade neighboring countries again, then it is unclear why it should not accept security guarantees that are purely defensive. This proposal should be put on the negotiating table. Peace is based on security guarantees. We must not blindly follow proposals put forward by others just because we need to decide where we stand. Our role is to participate in our own proposals. Those who have the courage to put them forward are doing something useful," Giorgia Meloni said during a speech in the Italian Chamber of Deputies.
