20 мая замглавы итальянского МИДа Манлио Ди Стефано заявил о передаче генсеку ООН Антониу Гутерришу разработанного Римом плана по мирному урегулированию конфликта на Украине.

La Repubblica писала, что предложенный Италией план включает четыре этапа. Начать предлагается с прекращения огня и демилитаризации линии фронта под наблюдением ООН, затем перейти к переговорам о статусе Украины, предполагающим вступление страны в Евросоюз, но неприсоединение к НАТО.

Третий этап предполагает заключение двустороннего соглашения относительно Крыма и Донбасса между Россией и Украиной, по которому «спорные территории» получат автономию и право самим обеспечивать свою безопасность, но суверенитет над регионами будет принадлежать Киеву. Заключительным этапом станет заключение многостороннего соглашения о мире и безопасности в Европе, за которым последует вывод российских войск с Украины, следует из документа.
