“Despite local political issues, the situation in Ukraine remains very important for Italy,” Zelensky said.
He told his interlocutor about the state of affairs at the front and stressed that strengthening the Armed Forces of Ukraine is an important priority for Ukraine today.
Separately, the parties focused on the need to extend the pressure of sanctions on the Russian Federation.
Lorenzo Guerini conveyed greetings to Zelensky from the President, Prime Minister and people of Italy.
He said that he visited Irpin and Gostomel and saw with his own eyes the destruction caused by the Russians.
Lorenzo Guerini also expressed his admiration for the heroism of the Ukrainians, with which they defended them and other cities of their country.
