Details: "I had a phone call with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. I thanked her for holding the conference on Ukraine's recovery and for her personal leadership in unflagging support for Ukrainian people. We discussed further defence cooperation and upcoming international events," Zelenskyy wrote on Twitter.

Meloni said on Wednesday at a meeting with Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal in Rome that Italy would help Ukraine fulfil the criteria necessary for full EU membership as soon as possible and speed up the process of starting accession talks.
