In addition, the Ukrainian leader emphasized that "it is very important to add to these decisions the number of opportunities with which we can reduce the military potential of the Russian Federation, wherever it is."
Italy has not yet given Ukraine permission for long-range strikes
This was announced by the Prime Minister of Italy, Giorgia Maloni.
According to the politician, she understands the decision of American leader Joe Biden to allow Ukraine to strike with long-range weapons on the territory of Russia.
Despite this, as of today, Rome does not plan to change its position on this issue.
Italy made a different choice, we always focused on the issue of air defense. Obviously, I understand the point of view of other countries, she emphasized.
According to Maloney, the authorization of ATACMS missile strikes against Russia is "a response to Russia's unprecedented aggression on the eve of the G20 summit, in which Russia is participating."
