Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has expressed support for a new security initiative that would require countries with security agreements with Ukraine to respond quickly in the event of another Russian invasion. The plan, reported by Bloomberg, focuses on rapid mobilization rather than NATO membership for Ukraine, emphasizing a 24-hour deadline for troop deployment. The proposal aims to provide a swift and coordinated response without the need for full NATO integration, which remains a contentious issue. This approach seeks to bolster Ukraine’s defenses while avoiding the complexities of formal alliance status. Meloni’s endorsement underscores Italy’s commitment to supporting Ukraine’s security posture amid ongoing tensions with Russia.
