Italian PM Meloni against direct NATO military intervention in Ukraine

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni rejected French President Emmanuel Macron’s suggestion that NATO troops could be sent to Ukraine saying that this risked unacceptable escalation in the conflict with Russia.

On the “proposal put forward by France regarding possible direct intervention”, “I reiterate also in this Chamber that our position is not in favour of this hypothesis, a harbinger of a dangerous escalation to be avoided at all costs”, she said during her communications to the Senate ahead of the EU Council, speaking about Ukraine.

Macron has repeatedly suggested recently that French, or other NATO, troops might be sent in to help Kyiv fight off the Russian aggression.
