Quote: "A summit between the United States, European states and allies is needed immediately to talk frankly about how we intend to tackle today's serious challenges, starting with Ukraine, which we have defended together in recent years, and those that we will have to face in the future. This is the proposal that Italy wants to make to its partners in the coming hours."

Details: Meloni also said that "any division of the West makes us all weaker and benefits those who would like to see the decline of our civilisation".
