Italy recognizes Ukraine's
aspirations to join the European Union and will "concretely
support them", Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio told a press
conference in Kiev with his Ukrainian counterpart Dmytro Kuleba
Thursday.
"On the European level," Di Maio said, "I am convinced that the
strengthening of relations between Brussels and Kiev is very
important for both sides."
For this reason, he said, "we are proud to have backed the
signing of the accord of association and free trade between the
EU and Ukraine and the concession of the liberalisation regime
of Schengen visas".
