Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni accused Russia of having a greater interest in escalation of force than diplomacy. In a message published on the government website, she stated that Moscow chose cruelty alternatively of negotiation.
"Russia seems more curious in expanding the cruelty of its attacks against Ukraine than through negotiations to end military action" - wrote Meloni. The Prime Minister assured Italy's continued support for the Ukrainian people.
Solidarity with Ukraine
"Italy, in close proximity to the Ukrainian people and together with its western partners, will proceed to carry out its task so that the rations of a just and lasting peace can prevail over mass aggression" - added Meloni. Deputy Prime Minister Antonio Tajani besides condemned Russian attacks, emphasizing on Platform X that their goal is to "terrorize the civilian population".
The head of the MFA called on Russia to halt the attacks and show readiness to negotiate. "Russia must halt the attacks and show that it wants to sit at the negotiating table. I express solidarity with the families of the victims, the Ukrainian nation and its government" - said Tajani.
Scale of night attacks
According to the Ukrainian Air Force, Russia launched 805 drones and 13 rockets at night from Saturday to Sunday. Mass attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure proceed despite global calls for halting armed action.
