Italy is focusing on supplying medical equipment for maternity wards in Ukraine, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said.

“We promptly provided Ukraine with industrial boilers and electric generators to cope with power outages and supply disruptions caused by Russian attacks. Now we are focusing on sending medical equipment, especially for maternity wards,“ she said during a joint press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Rome on Wednesday.

”I believe that we Italians should be proud of this work done to support the civilian population,” she said.

Meloni also emphasized that “Italy is very interested in developing joint production of drones, a sector in which Ukraine has become one of the world leaders over the years.”
