"Since the beginning of Russia's brutal aggression, Italy's support for Ukraine has been and will remain unshakable. This commitment has multiple dimensions and it is no coincidence that it is at the center of the Italian Presidency of the G7, in continuity with the great attention also paid by the Presidency Japanese in 2023".
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni stated this in an interview with YomiuriShimbun, on the day of the meeting with Prime Minister FumioKashida, underlining that "the greatest weapon available is the unity of our action", with which "we have adopted vital measures to also mitigate the global consequences of this evil conflict."
"This commitment arises first and foremost from the moral duty to help a sovereign nation fighting for survival, a duty from which we certainly cannot escape - explains the Prime Minister, in a "written interview" published by the Japanese newspaper -. However, it is also a question of protecting our interests national, because the security of Ukraine is the security of Europe, and because the need to safeguard the rules of coexistence which constitute the basis of the international system concerns all of us".
