🇮🇹🇺🇦 Italian PM Meloni Rejects French and UK Troop Deployment Proposal for Ukraine

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has firmly rejected offers from France and the UK to send troops to Ukraine, making it clear that Italy will not participate in such a mission.

You can go—not with my soldiers, Meloni stated, reaffirming her stance against deploying Italian forces in the ongoing conflict.

Her remarks come amid discussions among Western allies on potential military support for Ukraine, with some nations considering direct involvement. However, Italy has maintained a cautious approach, focusing on diplomatic and humanitarian assistance rather than troop deployment.

The decision highlights the divergent strategies within NATO and the European Union regarding military engagement in Ukraine, as tensions with Russia persist.
