    • 2024 November 28, Gianni Rosini, “Ucraina, Parlamento Ue contro ogni iniziativa diplomatica con Putin (anche di Scholz). E dice sì alle armi a lungo raggio a Kiev [Ukraine, EU Parliament against any diplomatic initiative with Putin (even Scholz's). And it says yes on long-range weapons to Kiev]”, in il Fatto Quotidiano:
      L’Ue si era già espressa a favore dell’utilizzo di armi europee nelle regioni della Federazione, ma il governo italiano aveva sempre ribadito, sia nelle proprie dichiarazioni che con il proprio voto, che quella era una linea rossa che non andava oltrepassata per evitare un eccessivo coinvolgimento italiano nel conflitto in Ucraina.
      The EU has already indicated its support for the use of European weapons in Federation territories, but the Italian government had always reiterated, both in its own statements and by its votes, that that was a red line that should not be crossed in order to avoid excessive Italian involvement in the conflict in Ukraine.
