⌨The newspapers report on a lengthy diplomatic reconciliation between Meloni and Macron, with their bilateral meeting lasting three to four hours at Palazzo Chigi (Adnkronos, ANSA, Corriere Della Sera, La Repubblica, Sky TG24). Multiple sources describe the encounter as sealing peace between the two leaders, featuring smiles and kisses while discussing convergences on EU policy and coordination regarding the United States. The talks covered support for Ukraine, industrial cooperation, and 98 billion euros in trade exchanges, with agreements on competitiveness, investments, energy and space sectors. Both leaders emphasized their commitment to a "more sovereign, strong and prosperous Europe" with unwavering support for Ukraine. A next bilateral meeting was scheduled for early 2026. Meanwhile, Moscow dismissed the possibility of a Putin-Zelensky-Trump meeting as "improbable" while Kiev rejected Istanbul's "unrealistic ultimatums" (La Stampa).
