Ukraine, Conte: “Zelensky and the US pursue a destructive military victory”

“The logic of Zelensky and Washington is to want to pursue a destructive military victory of Russia, this is a military escalation”. So Giuseppe Conte, leader of the M5S, guest of Piazzapulita on La7. “The peace negotiation is either convinced of doing it or not convinced – continues Conte – It seems to me that the line towards military escalation has prevailed on the Western front. Do we seriously attempt it with diplomatic efforts or not? Prime Minister, the first thing I would do is call the other leaders, informing Washington of course, and around a table ask where we are going. Is there no more talk of peace negotiations? “.” I have always underlined, signed and re-launched the sanctions but I have always, however, also said that sanctions are not an end but a means to try to recover a dialogue and not isolate Russia “, he added.” We will not vote in favor “on sending weapons because” they do not have need our armored tank “but” someone to impose a peace negotiation. We no longer want this war, Washington cannot decide, continues. “We have always offered full support to Ukraine and always condemned Putin’s aggression and military – explains Conte – I think I have repeated in dozens and dozens of interviews that we cannot allow Ukraine to defend itself with bare hands, there is and has been such an asymmetry as regards Russian and Ukrainian military power that missing … I was in favor of military dispatches, and it was a difficult and painful choice. But I also said, at a certain point: let’s try to understand the political strategy. Our political strategy cannot depend on the alternating fortunes of the military affair on the ground “.” Today the lack of an effective political strategy that leads us to a way out clearly emerges “and” to Draghi I want to say that I believe that a premier should not be urged after three months to appear in parliament “.
