(ANSA) - ROME, APRIL 26 - "Italy can contribute to realizing a Ukrainian economic miracle".
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said this in her speech at the conclusion of the bilateral conference on the reconstruction of Ukraine, citing the Italian post-war boom.
"Talking about the reconstruction of Ukraine means betting on victory and an end to the conflict, and I am sure that Ukraine's future will be one of peace, well-being and ever more European", she added.
"Ukraine's future must consist of an ever-increasing ability to enter the European institutions and dynamics. The smartest way to thank the Ukrainians for what they are doing is to accelerate the possibility of being part of the European institutions. We must recognize the enormous efforts of Kiev, even during the war, to reform its system and bring it closer to the targets requested by the Commission. It is essential to recognize that effort by accelerating and quickly starting EU accession negotiations", continued Meloni.
