The Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni stated that she does not miss the days when Russian tanks were present in European countries, explaining to parliamentarians why it is necessary to continue supporting Ukraine and prevent its capitulation.
Meloni emphasized that supporting Ukraine is not an alternative to peace, but on the contrary, it is what brings peace closer.
For Meloni, capitulation is not peace, but conquest, emphasizing that if Ukraine were to cease its defense, the result would be the occupation of a European country and the return of Soviet-style imperialism, writes Pravda.

“If Ukraine were to stop defending itself tomorrow, Russia would occupy a European country and Soviet-style imperialism would return. Surrender does not mean peace. It means conquest. I do not miss the Russian tanks that quelled the revolts in Prague and Budapest. And I do not miss the Berlin Wall either,” declared Meloni.
Italy, she added, seeks to build a just peace, even if this would mean losing political consensus.
Only a fair peace, she added, can be lasting and can guarantee the security of Europe and the interests of Italy.
