Zelensky congratulated Meloni
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy congratulated George Meloney, leader of the right-wing Brothers of Italy party, on his victory in the parliamentary elections and noted that he hoped for the support of Ukraine.
Congratulations to George Meloney and her political force on victory in the elections. We appreciate Italy's constant support for Ukraine in the fight against Russian aggression. We look forward to fruitful cooperation with the new Italian government,” the message says.
Maloney assured of loyal support
In turn, Georgia Meloni assured Volodymyr Zelensky of the loyal support of the Ukrainian people.
Dear Volodymyr Zelensky, you know that you can count on our loyal support for the cause of freedom of the Ukrainian people. Stay strong and keep your faith unshakable,” wrote Maloney.
Briefly about the elections in Italy and how this may affect Ukraine
- Early parliamentary elections were held in Italy. The far-right Brothers of Italy party, Georgie Maloney, won. It is worth noting that the right-wing coalition consists of parties where there are many Putin supporters.
- The trinity that will form the government is Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, Putin fan Matteo Salvini, who wants to lift anti-Russian sanctions, and Giorgia Meloni.
- The “Brothers of Italy” party received its historically highest result and gained the most votes – 26%. The EU has an image of right-wing radicals and “neo-fascists” from this party, which it is now trying to get rid of. In particular, she supported Ukraine during the war.
