Italy's political landscape is divided over its role in the Ukraine crisis.

Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini has called for peace, opposing the deployment of Italian troops in Ukraine, and criticized the EU's approach.

Forza Italia, however, urges calm and a balanced stance, advocating dialogue with both Ukraine and Russia.

Meanwhile, opposition parties demand Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni address Parliament on Italy's position ahead of a key European Council meeting.

They argue that Meloni must clarify Italy's role in this critical moment.

The government counters, stating Meloni will address Parliament as scheduled, dismissing the opposition's demands as political maneuvering.
