Head of the Italian Ministry of Defense Guido Crosetto said that his country has always ruled out the possibility of direct participation of its military in the conflict in Ukraine. He said this in an interview with Corriere della Sera. At the same time, “we have always said that Ukraine needs to be helped in every possible way, and we are doing this.”

When asked about the possibility of participating in the likely dispatch of a European contingent, Crosetto unequivocally said: “Definitely not! No one can doubt it.”

“There are no conditions for our direct participation,” concluded the Italian Defense Minister.
