Draghi, Italy ready to commit to a diplomatic solution

(ANSA) - STRASBOURG, 03 MAY - "Italy, as a founding country of the European Union, as a country that deeply believes in peace, is ready to commit itself on the front line to reach a diplomatic solution".

Prime Minister Mario Draghi said this to the European Parliament.

    "Helping Ukraine means above all working for peace. Our priority is to reach a ceasefire as soon as possible, to save lives and allow those humanitarian interventions in favor of civilians that today are and still remain very difficult", continued the premier, underlining that "a truce would also give new impetus to the negotiations, which so far have not achieved the desired results. Europe can and must play a central role in fostering dialogue".
