A snap parliamentary election was held in Italy, Georgia Maloney's party won. It is necessary to keep an eye on how the coalition negotiations will take place and who will be included in it.
This Channel 24 was told by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine in 2007-2009 Vladimir Ohryzko. He also noted that, despite the considerable influence on the new Bezlusconi government, it is unlikely that the general line of support for this country will change.
A German politician once said that there are three types of enemies:
- enemy;
- mortal enemy;
- coalition partner.
A lot will depend on the agreement of the leaders of these three parties. The level of support for Ukraine will depend on who will head the key positions in the Italian government,” Ohryzko says.
“But, I still think that Italy, as the cradle of Western civilization, is a country that feels a special responsibility in the G7. It cannot afford to step out of this common line and declare that there will be no more support for Ukraine,” Volodymyr Ohryzko notes. .

How Maloney feels about Russia
Georgia Maloney managed to be remembered for her mild rhetoric towards Russia and calls to ease the sanctions pressure on Moscow. However, after the start of the war, Maloney changed her mind.
Thus, the “Brothers of Italy” became one of the few parties that supported the decision of the Draghi government to supply weapons to Ukraine. Subsequently, Maloney compared the independence of Ukraine with the independence of Italy and stated that the Russian invasion has a global context, and support for Ukraine is an integral part of European security.
