Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, upon arrival in Washington for a crucial NATO meeting, condemned the Russian attack on a children's hospital in Kyiv, BTA reports.
The sad footage of children battling cancer, forced out into the streets by the attack, touched Meloni. She shared her thoughts with the Italian news agency ANSA, expressing how these scenes stand in stark contrast to the narrative Russia is trying to promote.
Melloni highlighted the brutal reality of civilians and innocent children being targeted, pointing out the stark contrast between these actions and Russia's claims of seeking peace. Such attacks send a message that contradicts the propaganda spread by Moscow.
As NATO celebrates its 75th anniversary, Meloni expects a strong show of unity and adaptability from the alliance, reflecting current global dynamics. She underlined Italy's commitment to addressing critical issues on NATO's southern flank as outlined in the summit conclusions. Meloni also emphasized the expectation of continued support for Ukraine, signaling solidarity and action in response to the ongoing conflict.
