Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni arrived in Kiev on Tuesday for a visit. A spokesman for Melonis announced this after arriving in the Ukrainian capital.
According to media reports, a meeting with President Volodymyr Zelensky is scheduled for this afternoon. Before that, Meloni wanted to visit “symbolic places” of the Ukrainian resistance.
Melons had traveled to Kiev by special train. At around two o’clock, the train stopped in Lviv for inspection after crossing the border into Poland. The Italian Prime Minister held talks with her Polish counterpart Mateusz Morawiecki in Warsaw on Monday. She also met Polish President Andrzej Duda.
Italy stands behind Ukraine
“Ukraine can count on Italy. We are determined to continue to support Ukraine with financial, military and humanitarian aid,” Meloni said at the end of her meeting with Morawiecki on Monday. to Ukraine so that peace and stability can prevail,” said the Italian Prime Minister.
Meloni, 46, who has been in office since October, had announced she would travel to Ukraine before February 24, the anniversary of the outbreak of war. “I had very good conversations with Meloni. We have received a support package from Italy and I thank her very much for her position. I am waiting for her, I know she will come,” Zelenskyy said in an interview with Italian broadcaster Rai 1 on Sunday evening.
Italian population divided
Despite disagreements within her right-wing governing coalition and divided public opinion in Italy, the far-right politician has consistently supported Ukraine. A few days ago, however, Meloni’s coalition partner again sparked international criticism.
Former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, head of the co-governing conservative Forza Italia, said last week he would not seek a meeting with Zelenskyy while he was still prime minister. He blamed the Ukrainian president for the war with Russia.
