Italian PM Meloni to visit Ukraine soon – Zelensky

KYIV. Jan 17 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni will soon visit Ukraine, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in an interview with the Italian TV channel Raiuno.

"She will come soon, I can’t communicate the date, but soon," Zelensky said.

Zelensky said the premier, whom he calls by her first name, "is extremely concrete".

He said "her rhetoric is extremely clear to me. I see Giorgia as pro-Italian and that is the most important thing: that she is pro-Italian and she supports Ukraine.”

"I’m really looking forward to her coming on an official visit to Ukraine," Zelensky added.

As the Italian defense portal RID reported yesterday, Italy, represented by Giorgia Meloni, has already decided to transfer the SAMP/T anti-aircraft missile system battery to Ukraine.

Earlier, the Italian Prime Minister herself announced her intention to visit Kyiv before the end of January 2023.
