Trump issued an ultimatum to Kiev ordering it to just accept the US plan by November 27, beneath penalty of a cease to the availability of weapons and intelligence. “We are in one of the most difficult moments in our history: at the crossroads between losing dignity or a key ally,” feedback Zelensky
Tajani: Europe can not fail to be the protagonist of an settlement
“I think it will take a few weeks” to succeed in an answer to the battle in Ukraine, however “the important thing is to continue working with diplomacy to reach a ceasefire and a long-lasting peace, which guarantees the security and independence of Ukraine. Europe must be the protagonist of this agreement also because it could not fail to be the case: given that Europe has inflicted sanctions on the Russian Federation, to reach an overall agreement, European participation is also needed, something that the Americans have also always said”. Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani mentioned this in a press level on the Turin International Trade Forum.
Crosetto: powerful peace plan for Ukraine, some unacceptable factors
“The proposed plan is, in my opinion, very harsh towards Ukraine and contains points that I think can never be accepted, but I consider it the starting point of a negotiation that we all hope for and for which we must all work tirelessly”. This is what the Minister of Defense, Guido Crosetto, writes on his profile
“The only thing that is of interest and must be of interest is the reaction of the parties in the field to the Trump plan to end the war in Ukraine – writes Crosetto -. The first point is that both Russia and Ukraine are talking about it: both nations have said that we can think about a plan that leads to the end of the war. This is the most important fact. Not because Ukraine, which has been asking for a just peace for three years, says so but because Russia has also said so”. For the minister “now a thousand steps are needed, a thousand discussions, a thousand fractures to heal, a thousand forcings, a thousand interlocutions, to reach a mediation that is accepted first and foremost by the people who sacrificed themselves for 1003 days in an attempt to defend their existence. I wrote people on purpose because that is what we have tried to help resist in recent years, the people and the Ukrainian nation”.
The president of the United States “for weeks has put pressure on Russia using the leverage of oil and now offers it an exit from the cul de sac into which it has got stuck. It is therefore wrong to ask other nations or Europe or the international community what they think of the 28 points. It is right – adds the minister – that no one speaks but everyone works to build 28, 25, or 32 points, acceptable to the parties, which will put an end to the war, allow Ukraine to have a future of security and avert the specter of the war spreading to Europe, I repeat: I am not interested in a judgment on the plan but in using it to restart the dialogue and stop the terrible sound of the hundreds of bombs, missiles and drones that in the last 24 hours, as in the previous 1002 days, have massacred Ukraine. “In the previous 24 hours – he concludes – greater than 1000 human beings, Russians and Ukrainians, have died. As within the earlier 24 hours and as within the subsequent 24. This is struggle, that is the enemy to battle, the adversary to defeat. Perhaps this imperfect plan provides us the chance to attempt. Let’s work to make it truthful and doable”.
I write here the same words that I said yesterday in connection with a conference in Stresa, hoping that the reasoning is taken up in its entirety and not cut artfully as is often done in Italy.

What Italy says about the plan…— Guido Crosetto (@GuidoCrosetto) November 22, 2025
Meloni, Italy with Europeans and the USA for simply peace in Ukraine
“Italy is ready to collaborate with its European and American partners to achieve a just peace.” Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni mentioned this in her speech on the first working session of the G20, talking concerning the “unjustified war of Russian aggression against Ukraine”. Likewise, he added, Italy “is already contributing in the Middle East to achieving a fragile but still very important result”.
