In a video conference from Palazzo Chigi with the G7 and other allies, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni reiterated her strong support for Ukraine, nearly four years after the invasion began. Unlike her visit to Kiev in 2023, she maintained her political alignment with President Volodymyr Zelensky, emphasizing Italy's commitment to the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Meloni highlighted the ongoing military assistance that Italy is prepared to provide, which includes new aid packages expected to be announced for 2026. This stance aligns with a broader commitment from G7 nations to support Ukraine in its ongoing conflict with Russia. Meloni’s remarks also reflect Italy's strategic position within European politics regarding security and defense matters, especially given the current geopolitical tensions in Eastern Europe.

The Prime Minister's video address underscores not only Italy's diplomatic ties with Ukraine but also its role in the larger framework of international alliances aimed at countering aggression. As the situation in Ukraine continues to evolve, her promise of future military aid suggests an ongoing commitment to supporting Ukraine’s defense capabilities, which may have significant implications for Italy's domestic and foreign policy in the coming years.
