According to this Georgian government tweet, ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น is among the countries that have "expressed their position in support of ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ช". A very vague wording, nevertheless we checked if Italy opposed any measures and qualified sources confirmed to us that nothing of the sort happened.

At this moment, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, EU High Representative Kaja Kallas and Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiga are all in the same place, just a few hundred metres apart. This is the closest we've ever been to a peace summit since 2022.

"The West and NATO are jointly responsible for the war in Ukraine. The Russians did not want American soldiers near their border, which is understandable. The war broke out because NATO did not want to respect this red line," said #Wagenknecht securing an ovation from the crowd.
