MILAN, ITALY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2026: Giuseppe Conte, leader of Italy’s Five Star Movement and former prime minister, addresses the movement’s “Nova – Parola all’Italia” assembly in Milan. Conte called for efforts to pursue peace and reiterated his opposition to increased military spending and continued weapons shipments to Ukraine, saying that weapons push peace further away. The position on military aid to Kyiv remains a point of disagreement between the Five Star Movement and its potential center-left coalition partners, including the Democratic Party.
