Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto said that his country is ready to participate in a peacekeeping mission to ensure the security of Ukraine after the conclusion of a possible ceasefire agreement.
According to the ANSA agency, Crosetto said this last Thursday, December 13.
According to him, Italy is ready to participate in a peacekeeping mission in Ukraine. Rome will also not refuse to send troops for similar missions in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon.
"I hope that we will talk about peace, about peacekeeping, as soon as possible in Ukraine, as well as in Gaza and Lebanon," Crosetto said.
Sending peacekeeping mission to Ukraine
The day before, the Polish agency Rzeczpospolita wrote that on December 12, French President Emmanuel Macron intends to visit Poland to discuss with the country's leadership the idea of deploying a peacekeeping mission in Ukraine.
Macron did visit Poland on December 12, but Prime Minister Donald Tusk said after the meeting that Warsaw had no plans to send troops to Ukraine even after a ceasefire was reached.
On the evening of December 12, The Wall Street Journal reported that US President-elect Donald Trump had supported the idea of sending a peacekeeping mission to Ukraine. He told Macron and Volodymyr Zelenskyy at a meeting in Paris on December 7.
