According to Meloni, Italy proposed the creation of a collective security mechanism, inspired by Article 5 of the Washington Treaty, as a key element of political guarantees for Ukraine.

At the same time, she confirmed that the country does not plan to send its military to Ukrainian territory, but is ready to support monitoring and training initiatives outside Ukraine.

After the meeting, the Prime Minister had a phone conversation with US President Donald Trump, during which the parties confirmed unity in achieving a just and lasting peace for Ukraine.

This can only be achieved through an approach that combines constant support for Ukraine, the desire to end hostilities, maintaining collective pressure on Russia, including through the instrument of sanctions, as well as strong and reliable security guarantees that must be defined in the spirit of cooperation between the two sides of the Atlantic
