Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has shifted her stance on the Ukraine conflict, now advocating for a "durable peace" rather than a "just peace," a term previously used by Western leaders.

This change comes amid growing internal and external pressures, as Meloni navigates the complex dynamics of aligning with both European allies and figures like Donald Trump.

Meanwhile, U.

S. Vice President JD Vance has expressed concerns about internal threats to Europe's core values, warning that these challenges could overshadow external threats like Russia or China.

The evolving rhetoric highlights the delicate balance leaders face in addressing global conflicts while safeguarding democratic principles.
