Italian Defense Minister Guido Crossetto said that a tough and critical channel of communication with Russia must remain open to achieve a just peace and stop Russian attacks on Ukraine.
Italian Defense Minister Guido Crossetto, in a telephone conversation with French Defense Minister Sebastian Lecorne, noted that in order to achieve a just peace, it is important that the channels of dialogue with Russia also remain open. This was reported by UNN with reference to Rai News.
Yesterday, I had a telephone conversation with my French colleague Sébastien Lecorne, who wanted to share with me his impressions after his recent conversation with Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. (...) I understand the logic of my French colleague's initiative, because although the Russian Federation has invaded a sovereign country, and for this reason Italy and France have always supported and will continue to support Ukraine, it is important, as I have always said, that the channels of confrontation and dialogue also remain open
From the point of view of the Italian Defense Minister, "an open channel of communication, necessarily tough and critical, is of fundamental importance." Crossetto summarized that these conditions for dialogue "are important to achieve the goal of stopping Russian attacks and creating conditions for a just peace.
