"It does not mean that we are enemies of Russia if we say that Russia must respect international law. We are not at war with Russia, but we defend Ukraine's right to be an independent state. All of us in the EU will have a re in peace building and, together with the U.S., we will support picies that lead to achieving the goal of a just peace, not resulting in Ukraine's defeat," Tajani said.

According to him, Italy is no one's enemy, but acts only as a peacemaker.

Tajani commented on a statement by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov that Rome cannot be invved in a possible peace process to end the Russian war against Ukraine due to its "anti-Russian" stance.
