Ukraine, Stefania Craxi: “We need the peace that Kiev will choose, but we are negotiating with Putin’s Russia”. “Berlusconi has never changed position”

«A harsh response from the West, but with a very specific objective: to reach dialogue, to a stable and lasting peace. Therefore, the peace that Ukraine will choose but also in a confrontation and negotiation with Putin’s Russia, because one cannot imagine a peace except in this framework, by supporting the Italian peace plan, of which the most important novelty is to bring together the countries that have offered to act as mediators in a sort of Conference of Mediators ”. So to the microphones of Rai Radio Uno, Stefania Craxi, new president of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Senate, who also took a stand on Berlusconi’s words in Naples and on that “extended hand” to Putin.

«Last night Berlusconi made a note where his position is well explained. Berlusconi’s position has never changed, pro-Atlanticism and condemnation of the Russian aggression against Ukraine. There is a very precise note made last night, I repeat, by the president of Fi. Berlusconi also gives a voice to the many who have peace at heart ». «It would be time – Crax pointed out – that small controversies do not arise over the foreign policy of a large country like ours. The politics of a great country is one. The harshness and cohesion that the West has shown today has led us to reopen the dialogue between the US and Russia, I do not see all these distinctions and distances. I can say, beyond the diversity of tones, the center-right is cohesive on the major underlying issues, but also this composite and difficult majority ».
