Details: Meloni stated that she strongly condemns "this unacceptable violence, which is at odds with any genuine commitment to peace as advocated by President Trump – a commitment that Italy, alongside Europe and other international partners, sincerely supports."

"I extend my deepest condolences to the victims, their families, and the entire Ukrainian people. We will continue working to put an end to this barbarism," the Italian Prime Minister stressed.
