UCRAINA, PACE DIFFICILE: ZELENSKY GOVERNA CON SPIETATEZZA, I VOLENTEROSI PREMONO | FULVIO SCAGLIONE

On IlSussidiario.tv, Fulvio Scaglione, editor-in-chief of InsideOver, analyzes the war in Ukraine, the role of the European Union, Russian gas imports, and Volodymyr Zelensky's political strategy. 00:00 Introduction: The Summit of the Willing and the Prospects for Peace 02:58 Italy, Giorgia Meloni, and European Support for Ukraine 04:51 Russian Gas, Energy Costs, and Europe's Contradictions 07:46 Lindsey Graham and the Political Legacy of the Neoconservatives 10:38 Conclusions: The Changes in Kiev and Zelensky's Leadership In the July 13, 2026, broadcast, Scaglione argues that the summit of the Coalition of the Willing, meeting in Paris to strengthen support for Ukraine and security guarantees, risks producing the opposite effect to that desired: the more Kiev is helped to strike Russia, the more the Kremlin would be pushed to advance to create a safe zone. According to the journalist, however, the military stalemate would make the possibility of a truce more concrete: Russian forces are slowly advancing in Donbas, while Ukraine is making gains in the air war. Regarding Italy's role, Scaglione believes that Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni cannot disengage from European support for Kiev and that any disagreements are merely "tactical distinctions," also linked to internal political dynamics. Energy is also given considerable attention. Europe, lacking sufficient resources to meet its needs, continues to depend on imports, while some countries still purchase Russian gas. The choice to replace it with more expensive supplies, Scaglione observes, "comes at a cost," and every government seeks to protect its citizens from the economic consequences. Scaglione then downplays the political legacy of Lindsey Graham, the Republican senator from South Carolina who died on July 11, 2026, describing him primarily as a leading figure in the neoconservative camp, but not as a genuine powerhouse. Finally, he analyzes the frequent changes at the top of Ukrainian institutions. Zelensky, he argues, governs quickly and "ruthlessly," replacing aides and officials to preserve his political stability.
