(ANSA) - TRIESTE, SEP 19 - "There has been a transformation on the Nato's eastern flank, consequent to the conflict in Ukraine. It's essential, though, for Nato to look to its southern flank and maintain a 360-degree view. The repercussions of the situation in Ukraine on the Mediterranean Sea are evident: Russia has intensified its presence in this sea, and so has China. So the southern flank deserves attention within the Atlantic alliance, and Italy must be effective in this quadrant." Italy's Defense Minister Lorenzo Guerini said, speaking at the Limes conference "The days of the sea" in Trieste. (ANSA).
