Campobasso, Sept. 11 (LaPresse) – “We bet on a military victory against Russia. Meloni has said it many times too. Can we say today that we have won or that we are winning? No. It was a bet made at the expense of Ukrainians and the population.” This was said by the president of the Five Star Movement, Giuseppe Conte, speaking with Antonello Barone during SaràTalk – Dialoghi sul futuro Live, the format of the Sarà Festival, in Campobasso(token). “Today, the Ukrainian population must be helped through a negotiating breakthrough. We must take part in the negotiations to defend its interests with the utmost determination and strength. It will not be easy, because after four and a half years Russia has gained an advantage on the ground that it will want to leverage at the negotiating table,” Conte added. “At the beginning of the war, with the Draghi government, we also supported the first shipments of weapons, because there was a strong asymmetry and it was necessary to prevent Ukraine from being easily conquered. But we tied those initial military supplies to the need to immediately work toward a negotiating breakthrough. Why, instead, is Europe still unable to name a negotiator? Europe is completely voiceless,” he concluded.
