Italian Foreign Minister: NATO cannot reject the open door principle and the commitments made to Kiev and Tbilisi at the Bucharest Summit in 2008

"NATO, of course, cannot reject the open door principle and the commitments made to Kiev and Tbilisi at the Bucharest Summit in 2008, which will allow Ukraine and Georgia to join the alliance in the future, said Italian Foreign Minister Luigi di Mayo.

According to him, this is a "red line" for Moscow.

In addition, according to the Italian Foreign Minister, "on the other hand, the internal reforms that Kiev must carry out in order to move closer to NATO standards is still incomplete."

According to Luigi Di Mayo, the Italian government is working to prevent a military escalation in Ukraine.

"We are working to avoid the alarming risk of military escalation," he said.
