Venice, Trieste could be 'Ukraine's ports': Italian Minister

The meeting with Zelensky "went very well," the president "who made a surprise appearance and thanked us for the convincing support that Italy gave and is still giving" to Ukraine and "invited premier Meloni to a meeting in his country. The visit will take place earlier of the great conference on reconstruction scheduled for early March in Rome".

That is what the Italian minister of Enterprises and Made in Italy, Adolfo Urso, told the daily Messaggero after visiting Kyiv yesterday along with the president of Confindustria, Carlo Bonomi.

There was also talk of logistics: 'Probably we will intervene while waiting for the full recovery of the maritime corridors.

We are committed to cooperating on land corridor number 5 from Kyiv to North-East Italy so that, in some way, Trieste and Venice can become their ports and logistics base in the European quadrant, with the largest platform of the continent located in Verona."
