Details: The diplomatic mission emphasised that the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry considers the Italian event about the "regeneration" of Mariupol to be a Russian provocation.

Quote: "The Embassy of Ukraine in Rome has sent an official request for the cancellation of the event."

As previously reported, a propaganda event about Mariupol's alleged "rapid regeneration" following its destruction by Russia is scheduled to take place in Modena on 20 January.

The event’s advertising contains the usual Kremlin narratives about an alleged "popular uprising" in Donbas – actually the actions of Russian saboteurs during the seizure of power in the region in 2014 – and the "rapid regeneration" in the city, which was in fact devastated by Russia’s regular forces during its occupation in the spring of 2022.

Online Ukrainian communities in Italy are calling for action to prevent the exhibition from going ahead.
