Italy won’t send soldiers to Ukraine – Tajani

The Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said that his country will not send soldiers to Ukraine after French President Emmanuel Macron said NATO should send ground troops if the Russian break through the Ukrainian lines and Kyiv calls for help.

ANSA reported Tajani saying “We have always said that we are not at war with Russia and therefore we will not send Italian soldiers to fight in Ukraine”.

Responding in Reggio Calabria to a question from journalists on Macron’s statement that western boots on the ground might be necessary in Ukraine, Tahani said: “We defend the right of Ukraine to be an independent state. But we are not, I repeat, at war with Russia. We defend freedom, independence, but we are working to build peace”, he stressed.
