Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni rejected French President Emmanuel Macron’s suggestion that NATO troops could be deployed in Ukraine saying the move risked unacceptable escalation in the conflict with Russia.
The head of government spoke before the country’s parliament on Tuesday, Ukrinform reports, referring to ANSA.
"I reiterate also in this Chamber that our position is not in favor of this hypothesis, a harbinger of a dangerous escalation to be avoided at all costs," the prime minister said.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, Emmanuel Macron repeatedly suggested that, although there is no consensus at the moment on deploying NATO troops on the ground in Ukraine, "nothing can be ruled out." "We will do everything necessary to prevent Russia from winning this war," he stressed.
