The statements are taken from Bruno Vespa's book 'History of the Second Republic'. The Prime Minister clarifies the strategic motivation behind military and political support for Ukraine.
"I am perfectly aware that our support for Ukraine may have a political price, that there may also be a part of our electorate that does not agree, but I do not intend to change my position." This was stated by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in Bruno Vespa's book "History of the Second Republic.

An international context in which only the law of those who are militarily stronger applies is not convenient for our nation. It's not a political opinion, it's a fact."
