Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni suggested that NATO could extend its Article 5 projections to Ukraine without making it a member of the alliance.&nbsp;
Meloni on March 6 (Thursday) made the proposal for the North Atlantic Alliance, during the sidelines of the EU leaders' emergency Summit in Brussels.
Notably, Article 5 states that an attack on any NATO member would be treated like an attack on all of them.&nbsp;

"We need to think about more durable solutions than just sending European peacekeepers to Ukraine," Meloni said.&nbsp;
"Extending the same coverage that NATO countries have to Ukraine would certainly be much more effective while being something different from NATO's membership," the Italian PM said at a press briefing in Brussels.&nbsp;
"It&rsquo;s a different thing than entering NATO, but it implies extending the coverage that NATO countries have also to Ukraine," she added.

She further said that it would be a "stable, lasting, effective security guarantee, more than some of the proposals I'm seeing."&nbsp;
Moreover, when asked about how Europe might provide security guarantees to Ukraine without a US backdrop, both European Council President Antonio Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen dodged specifics and shifted to praising the Ukrainian military.
"The best security guarantee is the Ukrainians themselves," Costa said, stressing that Ukraine has been fighting the war for over three years.&nbsp;
<h2>Kyiv seeks more information&nbsp;</h2>
Ukraine has asked Italy for more information about the proposal made by Meloni.&nbsp;

President Donald Trump is planning to revoke the temporary legal status of 240,000 Ukrainians who fled to the US following Russia&rsquo;s invasion of Ukraine. According to a Reuters report that cited sources, the move would potentially pave the way for their deportation.
This comes following the explosive spat between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that happened at the White House on February 28. The move would be part of the broader effort to strip the legal status of over 1.8 million migrants that were allowed to enter the US on humanitarian grounds under the Biden administration, the report said.
