Brothers of Italy (FdI) leader Giorgia
Meloni had a telephone conversation on Tuesday with Ukrainian
President Volodymyr Zelensky and confirmed that the incoming
Italian government will continue to support Kyiv following the
Russian invasion, her party said in a statement.
Meloni is set to become Italy's first woman premier after FdI
spearheaded the right coalition to victory in last month's
general election.
In the call, Meloni recalled that FdI has supported Kyiv since
the start of the war and confirmed "full support to the cause of
liberty of the Ukraine people", the statement said.
She also reiterated her stance that Russia's declaration of the
annexation of four Ukrainian regions has no political or legal
value, according to the statement.
Meloni stressed she was committed to make "any diplomatic effort
that contributes to the end of the conflict".
