Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in Cernobbio, northern Italy, on Friday evening to participate in the prestigious European House economic forum.
Zelensky's visit to Italy follows a significant stop in Germany, where he made a fervent appeal for increased military support from Ukraine’s international allies. During his time in Germany, Zelensky met with key stakeholders to address the urgent need for more weapons as Ukrainian forces continue to contend with advancing Russian troops and escalating conflict.
In Italy, Zelensky will engage with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on Saturday. The discussion is expected to focus on enhancing economic support for Ukraine and exploring further avenues of collaboration between Ukraine and Italy.
The European House economic forum is a prominent event that brings together global leaders, policymakers, and industry experts to discuss pressing economic issues and foster international partnerships. Zelensky's participation underscores Ukraine's ongoing efforts to strengthen its international alliances and secure additional support in the face of the ongoing conflict with Russia.
