Peace does not entail capitulation, as Putin suggests – Italian PM

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni emphasised that peace in Ukraine should not imply surrender, as the Kremlin still believes, and that such a "peaceful settlement" would create a terrible precedent. Source: Meloni in her speech at the second day of the Global Peace Summit in Switzerland, as reported by European Pravda Details: The PM stressed that peace does not imply capitulation, as Russian leader Putin appears to suggest in his recent statements.

Meloni said that combining the concepts of peace and submission would set a horrible precedent for everyone.

The Italian Prime Minister stated that Ukraine's allies should continue their efforts to maximise support for Ukraine and that the most recent G7 conference, led by Italy, offered sufficiently powerful choices, particularly on the use of the Russian Federation's frozen assets in favour of Ukraine. "Dear Volodymyr [Zelenskyy, Ukraine's President - ed.], I am here to tell you that you can continue to count on us for as long as it takes... We intend to do everything in our possibilities to transform a future of peace and freedom for Ukraine into reality," she concluded. 

Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte feels that the peace summit in Switzerland is simply the beginning of a long process to stop the crisis in Ukraine, but it does reinforce crucial global community viewpoints.
