According to her, Italy has repeatedly emphasized the principles of voluntary participation in sending forces and adherence to constitutional procedures for making decisions in support of Ukraine in the event of a future attack.
Reaffirming Italy's support for Ukraine's security, consistent with its long-standing commitments, Prime Minister Meloni reiterated several key points of the Italian government's position on guarantees, including the exclusion of the deployment of Italian troops.
The statement also indicates that "a constructive and concrete meeting, which confirmed a high level of convergence between Ukraine, the United States, Europe and other partners, focused on improving security guarantees, consistent with Article 5 of the North Atlantic Alliance, as Italy has long proposed."
"These guarantees will be part of a broader package of agreements to be adopted in close coordination with Washington, to ensure Ukraine's sovereignty and independence, including through an effective and comprehensive ceasefire monitoring mechanism and strengthening of the Ukrainian armed forces," the statement said.
