Italy is interested in investing in Ukraine and is ready to invest resources without delay, sign agreements, and provide financial guarantee instruments for companies that plan to invest in Ukraine’s reconstruction measures, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni says.
“Italy, as a country, is also ready to contribute and start now and rebuild what was destroyed – roads, bridges, hospitals, all these buildings,” Meloni said at the Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC2025) during a joint statement with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to reporters in Rome on Thursday.
She noted that Italy has already taken Odessa under its patronage to restore cultural and heritage objects. “And we want to even go further, we want to expand our contribution: this is energy, critical infrastructure, transportation, agriculture, also health care. Of course, I won’t list all the initiatives now, but I want to remind you that we are doing a lot of things that are symbolic in terms of humanitarian aid,” the head of the Italian government said.
Meloni also noted that Italy will help in the heroic resistance to Ukraine. “We have done it in different senses and we will also do it on industry and also defense sector and cooperation. We have also talked about this, and this is evidenced by a number of agreements signed today, this is a central theme. And, of course, we will continue our investments, because we understand how important it is to do everything possible so that Ukraine can fight, fight back, defend itself,” she said.
According to the Italian Prime Minister, peace in Ukraine should be “long, lasting, just”, in particular through deterrence.
