In an interview with the newspaper la Stampa, he noted that the authorities of France and Poland cannot speak on behalf of the alliance, which “from the very beginning did not formally and voluntarily intervene in the conflict.”

“We continue to support Kyiv, but we need to think about how to help it regain freedom, territory and security in a different way: by strengthening diplomatic channels,” the minister added.

Earlier, US Senator from Utah Mike Lee said that the United States would have to withdraw from NATO if it sent military personnel to Ukraine.
