ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “We have always said no to the sending of Italian soldiers to Ukraine, also because Ukraine now has the strongest armed forces that exist in Europe. It is about 700,000, for example, the Ukrainians who serve in the army and managed to stop what is considered the strongest army that exists, that is, the Russian army that in this moment counts on over 1 and a half million people. Everyone says that Ukraine is losing this war, but Ukraine was not trying to win the war against Russia. Russia tries to invade and win the war, Ukraine is just trying to defend itself. The thing that strikes me is that the great Russian army has conquered 2% of the Ukrainian territory in recent years of war. So now they need only peace, peace and peace.” So the Minister of Defense Guido Crosetto, guest of the broadcast “Ore 14 sera” on Rai2.
“I am convinced that the Ukrainians can guarantee their own security in the future, but the biggest guarantee is the one that comes from the application of an article such as NATO’s number 5, that is, the security guarantee that if an invasion such as the one that was there would intervene all those who have committed themselves. First, the United States, which are the only ones who have a real ability to deterrence towards Russia, that is, those who really fear Russia in case of intervention – explained -. These are the points on which we are discussing in these hours and these days and I hope in some way to succeed here, as we have done in Gaza, not to find the best possible solutions, but to have to pull out a ban to start to unroll a matassa that becomes more complicated every day.” According to the minister, “Every day in Ukraine dies 1,000 – 1,500 people every day for 4 years and every day without interruption hundreds of missiles, bombs, rockets, drones fall on Ukraine. It bothers us and has stewed us about the war in Ukraine. Think of those populations, for example, now facing one of the hardest winters in Europe, having lost 90% of energy, light and gas capacity. And every day Russian attacks are mainly on civilian targets, not even military ones. 93% of the attacks that were yesterday were on civilian targets.”.
“So we are faced with a tragedy in which over a million and 100 thousand Russians and 700,000 hurricanes died, proportions from World War I. A tragedy that goes on every day and must be stopped in any way, even precarious, and then it must be built just at a time the possibility of a peace and a normal life for that people who did nothing to deserve a war at home”, concluded the minister.
