Premier Giorgia Meloni and Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani have welcomed the outcome of talks between the United States and Kyiv in Jeddah seeking to open the way to ending the war in Ukraine.

“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,” the premier’s office said on Tuesday.

“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”.

Tajani echoed those sentiments on Wednesday.

“The Jeddah talks are an important step forward on the road to a just and lasting peace for Ukraine, a peace that Europe wants to help build,” he said.

“The ceasefire and the resumption of US military protection in Kiev will be the first topics that the G7 foreign ministers will discuss in Canada, including with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

“We want Russia’s aggression against Ukraine to cease as soon as possible: we Europeans, united with the Americans, can achieve this”.
