I expressed my sincere gratitude to the Prime Minister of Italy, Giorgia Meloni, for participating in the meeting of the leaders of the countries of the coalition of the willing, which took place in Kyiv in a mixed format - offline and online," Yermak wrote on his Telegram channel on Tuesday.

Yermak noted that Meloni's "clear and principled" position in support of Ukraine "is extremely important for us at this crucial time."
