Italian PM Giorgia Meloni said she opposes U.S. President
Donald Trump’s plans to invite
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin to the G20 summit in Miami, Italian news agency
Ansa reported
on April 24.
“As far as Putin at the G20 summit is concerned, I believe we should ask Putin to take a few steps toward us, rather than taking them ourselves,” Meloni said.
She added that Washington and Western partners have already taken some steps toward Moscow in recent months but have not seen a comparable response.
“We and the Americans, especially in recent months, have taken a few steps toward Russia, but we haven’t seen as many steps in return,” she said.
“I think now it is time to demand them from Russia.”
On April 23, Russia’s foreign ministry said Putin
received an invitation to the December summit. Russia’s G20 representative,
Svetlana Lukash, said the United States is preparing for a possible Putin visit.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
