(ANSA) - ROME, SEP 11 - Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni on
Wednesday said in a video message to the Summit of the
International Crimea Platform that "Russia has not succeeded in
bending the heroic Ukrainian resistance and our firmness and
unity of intent have guaranteed the necessary aid for Ukraine to
defend its freedom".
"And this is a value which we must know how to protect if we
want peace to return to the heart of Europe", Meloni said.
"Dear Volodymyr (Zelensky), we will continue to be by your side.
"Italy will do it also as G7 president because our objective is
to end this war and help Ukraine in the path towards a future of
peace, freedom and prosperity", said the Italian prime minister.
"Looking at the future of Ukraine also means thinking about its
reconstruction, which must be supported together with
international financial institutions.
"We mean to play our part and in 2025 we will host in Italy the
Ukraine Recovery Conference.
"Unity is our strength and the Ukrainian population can continue
to count on us", added Meloni (ANSA).
