"Every day that the Russians fail to conquer Pokrovsk is a victory for us," the Ukrainian president bitterly confesses. Volodymyr ZelenskyBut there is not only the military emergency for Ukraine: Kiev, as the excellent journalist recalled yesterday in the Corriere della Sera Federico Fubini, has the resources to finance the army and state activities for only four months. It would need the full solidarity, and not just in words, of the West but Trump he turned his back on him andEurope He is hesitating. In the last 48 hours, however, two very clear signals of trust and support have arrived in Kiev: one from our president Sergio Mattarella and the other from the French president Emmanuel MacronSpeaking to the German Parliament, Mattarella made a historic speech in which he did not mince his words: “In the world – he argued – there are too many doctors Strangelove who love the bomb” and, in any case, he added referring to Russia and not only, “the war of aggression It's a crime." It couldn't be clearer. Yesterday, Macron was on the same wavelength, signing a "historic agreement" with Zelensky for a 10-year strategic partnership through which Kiev will receive one hundred Rafale aircraft, radar, anti-aircraft defense systems, missiles, not to mention an agreement to build drones. Yesterday, the Supreme Defense Council, chaired by Mattarella and attended by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, confirmed "support and weapons to Ukraine": It's no coincidence and it's about time. Mattarella is here.
Ukraine is trembling, Trump is turning his back, Europe is wavering, but Mattarella and Macron are sending a signal of confidence to Kiev.
