Italy's PM: Putin, Trump discussed security guarantees for Ukraine

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on Saturday said U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin discussed security guarantees for Ukraine during their summit a day earlier in Alaska.

"The crucial point remains security guarantees to prevent new Russian invasions, and this is the aspect where the most interesting developments were recorded in Anchorage," Meloni said in a statement, her second about the summit.

Meloni said Trump had highlighted an earlier Italian proposal for security guarantees for Ukraine "inspired by NATO's Article 5."


"The starting point of the proposal is the definition of a collective security clause that would allow Ukraine to benefit from the support of all its partners, including the USA, ready to take action in case it is attacked again," said Meloni.
