Today in Rome. As always with such visits, we have a result. Today, we have become stronger.

Italy will continue supporting Ukraine – as much as it is necessary for us to stand up and defend our people and our territory. We agree with Giorgia, Madam Prime Minister, on our new joint defense steps. There are good things we can do together to protect the sky. There are good things we can do together to protect the land. We agreed on weapons and air defense.

Today, there is also a Joint Declaration with Italy. All the important things: the European Union – Italy supported the start of negotiations in 2023, correct and timely signals about NATO.

I met with Pope Francis, and it was a conversation that could really influence history, could really help stop the evil of aggression.
I told about the crimes committed by the Russian occupiers against our people, about the deportation of Ukrainian children. I asked His Holiness to help return our children home to Ukraine.

And one more. I am especially grateful to all those people who were on the streets of Rome with our Ukrainian flags, who met the Ukrainian delegation with an open heart and sincere good emotions…

Viva Italia!
Glory to our soldiers!
Glory to Ukraine!
