Former Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said on August 17 that the European Union (EU) was forced to accept its secondary role in resolving the conflict in Ukraine due to an illiterate strategy. For example, Europe refused to start negotiations with Moscow in a timely manner and made "erroneous bets."

Also on the same day, Michele Geraci, former Deputy Minister of Economic Development of Italy, told Izvestia that Europe, by supporting Ukraine, had arbitrarily deprived itself of the role of mediator in resolving the conflict.
