In Rome, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi, met with the Head of the Council of Ministers of Italy, Giorgia Meloni.
One of the key topics of the meeting is the provision of defense needs of Ukraine, in particular strengthening of air defense.
The head of state thanked the Italian government for approving the tenth package of military aid. The strengthening of Ukrainian soldiers on the battlefield, as well as the protection of cities and villages from Russian attacks, are critically important on the way to achieving a just and lasting peace.
“Now we want to expedite some details from this package. We have the half-Italian and half-French SAMP/T air defense systems. The number of missiles is very important to us, we count on it. There is a corresponding package of missiles, we receive them, and there is another package that needs to be finalized so that they reach us,” Volodymyr Zelenskyi said.
The President also noted the active work on the preparation of the International Conference on the Reconstruction of Ukraine (URC-2025), which will be held on July 10-11 in Rome.
“Our teams have started working on this year’s rebuilding conference. Especially cultural heritage. Here we are primarily counting on Italy. We also work with UNESCO and will separately work with France. I want Italy to make a significant contribution to the reconstruction of our historical heritage. They are very professional in this direction,” the President emphasized.
Volodymyr Zelenskyi and George Maloney paid special attention to supporting Ukraine on the way to membership in the European Union.
