Italy to dispatch emergency energy aid to Ukraine—PM
The pledge comes ahead of Zelenskyy’s upcoming visits to London, Brussels, and Rome to meet European leaders and discuss peace efforts with Russia, according to reports.
Meloni expressed solidarity with Ukraine in the wake of recent Russian attacks. Italian companies are set to deliver generators in the coming weeks “to support energy infrastructure and the population,” officials said.
The Italian leader also voiced support for ongoing diplomatic initiatives and the US commitment to pursuing a “just and lasting peace.” Reports indicate that Ukraine’s willingness to engage in negotiations in good faith is considered “instrumental to this process,” while officials hope that Moscow will display “similar openness.”
Zelenskyy took to social media to describe the discussion as “a very substantive conversation” and thanked Meloni for her emphasis on both diplomatic efforts and support for power infrastructure.
"There is still work to be done together to ensure that Russia genuinely commits to ending the war," he said. "Italy clearly supports the need for real security and for preventing any renewed outbreaks of war."
Additionally, French President Emmanuel Macron announced that he will travel to London for high-level talks with Zelenskyy, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to review the situation in Ukraine and advance negotiations under US mediation.
