Rome: Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on Saturday slammed as “propaganda” Russian President Vladimir Putin’s demand that Ukraine effectively surrender before any peace talks.
“It doesn’t seem particularly effective to me as a negotiation proposal to tell Ukraine that it must withdraw from Ukraine,” she said at the end of a G7 summit in Italy, adding that “it seems more like a propaganda initiative”.
