ROME — Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni will travel to Kyiv on Monday to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, a political source said on Sunday. Meloni, who took office in October, had said she planned to visit Kyiv before the Feb. 24 anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last year.Despite friction on the issue within her rightist ruling coalition and divided public opinion, Meloni has been a firm supporter of Ukraine.
Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, leader of the conservative Forza Italia party that is part of Meloni’s coalition, last week said he would not seek a meeting with Zelensky if he were still head of government because he blames the Ukrainian President for the war with Russia.
