„We welcome this statement as part of the discussion on providing Ukraine with long-term security guarantees and ensuring security and peace in general,“ Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Heorhii Tykhyi said at a briefing in Kyiv.
„As for this proposal specifically, we are in contact with our Italian colleagues to clarify the specifics of this proposal,“ Tykhyi said, adding that Ukraine still wants its partners to send troop contingents as part of any peace effort.
