Statement by Palazzo Chigi on US-Ukraine talks

The President of the Council of Ministers, Giorgia Meloni, welcomes with satisfaction the outcome of the talks held in Jeddah between the United States and Ukraine, with particular reference to the proposal for a 30-day ceasefire and the resumption of US assistance to Kyiv.

Italy fully supports the efforts by the United States, under President Trump’s leadership, towards a just peace that guarantees Ukraine’s long-term security.

The decision is now up to Russia.
