Italian Defense Minister: Military support for Ukraine will end sooner or later

Western countries will sooner or later be forced to cut off the flow of military aid to the Ukrainian regime. This was stated by Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto.

I understand that sooner or later military support will have to end.

- He said.



According to Crosetto, at present, both sides of the armed conflict in Ukraine are against any negotiations, therefore, an authoritative mediator is required to conclude peace, in the role of which, in his opinion, the European Union should act. It is not entirely clear how the EU can act as an intermediary if it is actually a party to the conflict, dealing with supplies weapons Ukraine ...

The head of the Italian military department also added that "the goals of the Russian Federation have probably changed, and now they are not about capturing all of Ukraine, but are limited to establishing control over the territory of Donbass, as well as strengthening defense lines."

Crosetto stressed that the armed conflict in Ukraine has now "reached a difficult phase and will continue for a long time."

According to him, Italy is forced to support Ukraine so that it can defend itself and create conditions for negotiations in which Russia will not dictate terms.

Crosetto announced his intention to try to make Russia realize the "failure of the military operation" and start peace talks. He also added that even after the peace talks, the normalization of relations between the EU and Russia will not happen soon.

      The Italians are still those weathercocks, during WWI they wanted to enter the war on the side of Germany in exchange for the territories of Austria-Hungary, they refused and they joined the Entente because the Britons offered them more. Now they say one thing, but if Uncle SAM offers them this what they cannot refuse rhetoric will change dramatically hi

      In the West, they came up with an innovation in the field of military strategy))
      They say with one voice "Russia needs to accept defeat")))
      What is it like? The victory of Ukraine with the help of psychoanalysis from NATO?))) With the help of psychoanalysis and Ukrainian TV, Ukrainian troops are sure that they are storming the fortified areas near Moscow))
      There were no more severe frosts, but the brain is already freezing) or is it all on the bank so from coke rushing))

    This man is moron!
    The EU is a party to the conflict, Russia's goal is the demilitarization of Ukrop, which cannot be achieved with the help of the EU militarizing Ukraine.

    The closet is completely dripping - it carries such nonsense.
    The problem is that Ukraine has already lost, and the EU and the US cannot accept this truth.
    But the more they deny this fact, the higher the costs will be for them. A little more and the entire collective West will become an accomplice in crimes against peaceful Russian-speaking residents of the former Ukraine, against the army and the people of the Russian Federation - and then in this case one "oh, we didn't know" will not get off - they will pay reparations and indemnities

    As long as it is beneficial to the West, support will continue. Unfortunately, the fear of Russia in the West has passed, Europe is becoming impudent every day. Ukraine is also becoming impudent and is already openly killing the inhabitants of Donbass, citizens of Russia, by the way. Now it is only a matter of time when Western tanks and aircraft will appear in Ukraine. Russia must crush the infrastructure of Ukraine, and then destroy the bridges and dams across the Dnieper. The Dnieper is an excellent border between states, at the time of rearmament.

    "sooner or later" I would prefer it to be early.
    I am not a strategist, but my husband was an officer, my boys are in the army. Involuntarily, I begin to think and compare: we are actually opposed to 52 (!) armies.
    Even in WWII it was easier

      You better think about why we trade with them if we are at war with them?

      But there is no need to compare this strange "non-war" with the Second World War, okay?

    There can be no normalization of relations between Russia and NATO in principle.
    NATO was created to destroy Russia.
    The maximum can be a respite, like the Serbs in Kosava.

      "Normalization", or rather, the surrender of positions by Russia is possible with discord in the higher echelons, as happened in the Republic of Ingushetia at the beginning of 1917 .. It is necessary to bend the line incessantly so that this does not happen

      Colleague Arkady, with all the rejection of the "Kosovars", let's pronounce correctly: "Kosovo" - was originally Serbian territory. At least out of respect for Serbian history

        I wrote the word Kosava this way from memory, as they always said: "Kosava is ours." I think the Serbs would not be offended.

          Unfortunately, there are no and never were on the site: Serbs and Montenegrins.
          There were Bulgarians, Germans, Israelis, Americans, but I don’t know the former Yugoslavs

    And how can this American creature, born in the bowels of the State Department, become a mediator. If Tchaikovsky, Pushkin, Dostoevsky Russian books and TV programs are banned in the EU, how can they objectively act in resolving the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, at the same time stuffing Kiev with weapons and hanging yellow banners with shouts of "We are together with Square" on every corner.
    God forbid, if something from this undertaking is resolved peacefully, then in 5 years, it will result in a nuclear war.

    Closetto, it would be better if you ate your pasta and did not stick your nose into the affairs of Great Russia. And about the EU in general close, she has no faith. Merkel has already said this

    The words of Western politicians are not worth a damn.
    The proof of this is Merkel's confession of lies.

    Let's look at the facts while supplies from Europe are coming.

    ... to make Russia realize the "failure of the military operation" (c)
    Are these people lying or not understanding? Russia has nowhere to hurry, the landing regime with the expectation of flowers from the population has been replaced by the "meat grinder" regime, the tasks set will be solved later and paid more, but there is no turning back - it remains only to endure and move forward. Obviously, in the West, many do not understand this or deliberately lie to people.

    "Italian Defense Minister: Military support for Ukraine will stop sooner or later." I can tell him when to stop. On the day of unconditional surrender.

    I'm wildly sorry, but the man's roof is leaking - how can a party to the conflict act as a mediator ??? Or is he so detached from real life that he does not understand the reality and the roles of the participants? Stop the Earth, I'll get off...
