The problem of weapons is serious, and Italy does not underestimate it.
The Italian government almost unanimously decided to transfer of weapons to Ukraine . This was stated by Prime Minister Mario Draghi, said in an interview with Corriere della Sera, reports “Correspondent.net”.
“The decision to send weapons was made in parliament almost unanimously. The conditions of the question are clear: on the one hand there is the people who were attacked, on the other hand – the army of the aggressor. What is the best way to help the victims? Sanctions are needed to weaken the aggressor, but cannot stop the troops in the short term. To do this, we need to help Ukrainians directly, which is what we are doing, “Draghi said. And this, Draghi stressed, would be contrary to European values of solidarity.
“The problem of weapons is serious, and I do not underestimate it: it is about personal ethical choices. Therefore, the decision cannot be made lightly, but the conditions are the ones I have just described, “he added.
Until the last moment, Dragi believed that Russia would not invade Ukraine. But the invasion itself did not surprise the Italian prime minister, given the accumulation of Russian troops near Ukraine's border and “the precedents of what the Soviet Union was doing in Poland, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia.”
Draghi said that, like many others, he initially considered a quick victory for Russia, which would also threaten neighboring states, but this did not happen and “there are no signs that the Ukrainian people can accept Russian occupation.”
He called the actions of the Russian army in Bucha “inhumane”, but added that “terms such as” genocide “or” war crimes “” have a clear legal meaning “and it takes time to determine which words best match situation.
