Meloni, Zelenskyy Discuss Path to "Just and Lasting Peace"
The Italian government reported that Meloni and Zelenskyy reviewed the current status of diplomatic negotiations and deliberated on the next steps necessary to advance peace initiatives.
Zelenskyy expressed gratitude to Italy for the emergency aid recently provided to strengthen Ukraine's energy infrastructure, which continues to be targeted by Russian strikes on civilian facilities, according to the official statement.
Both officials highlighted the "importance of unity between European and American partners," emphasizing that Europe's contributions will be crucial in determining the continent's long-term security landscape.
They also underlined the need to establish credible security assurances to deter future aggression and to maintain consistent pressure on Russia to participate in negotiations sincerely.
Meloni, the statement noted, reaffirmed Italy’s support for the Ukrainian people and pledged that Rome will continue "to do its part," including contributing to Ukraine’s eventual reconstruction.
Her comments coincided with separate remarks by Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, who voiced complete solidarity with Ukraine following what he described as a new surge in Russian attacks on civilians.
"I had a conversation with my friend and Foreign Minister of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha. I expressed my full solidarity with Ukraine following the new unacceptable escalation of Russian strikes against civilians and reaffirmed my support for US efforts for a just and lasting peace,” Tajani wrote on the social media platform X.
