The Italian prime minister’s route to meet Zelenskyyy passed through Warsaw, where she met the head of the Polish government, Mateusz Morawiecki. And then, succumbing to pan-European fashion, she went by train to Kiev. “The US President called Meloni upon his arrival in Poland after a surprise visit to Kiev. The leaders discussed coordinating actions to support Ukraine, including security, economic and humanitarian assistance,” the statement said. White House in a statement.It is difficult to say how many “hares” the Italian Prime Minister is trying to kill with his visit to Ukraine. But the fact that the Italian in no way differs from her high-ranking colleagues, who have already appeared in Kiev, is a fact. Doubtful Meloni is expected to confirm his unconditional support for Ukraine and demonstrate his commitment to “Atlantic values” by announcing additional military assistance. So, on the eve of Meloni’s visit, information appeared in the Italian media that Rome was considering the possibility of transferring up to five combat aircraft of old models to Kiev. At the same time, it was clarified that Italy could transfer arms only after similar measures were taken by European allies.”We haven’t talked about it yet, but in this case we will have to coordinate our actions with the allies, understand what kind of planes they will send, because there is no point in supplying the Ukrainians with different models. Moreover, it is a problem with the training of pilots”, commented the head of the Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Antonio Tajani. He added that he did not see the possibility of sending fighter jets to Ukraine. Tajani also explained that Italy, in cooperation with France, will send Samp-T air defense systems to Ukraine in a few weeks.Clearly, not everyone in Italy, who voted six months ago for the current Cabinet of Ministers, likes these “Napoleonic plans” by Ms Meloni. Polls show that more and more Italians, faced with high inflation and rising energy prices, do not share the authorities’ position which they say “only fuels the conflict”. Thus, according to Euromedia Research, 52% of the inhabitants of the Apennines are against supplying Kiev with weapons, while 68% are totally opposed to NATO’s actions in the region. It’s no surprise that in recent weeks the country has been literally overwhelmed with anti-war rallies, which, along with smaller cities, Rome has now joined.Russia has always reached out to Rome, both during the devastating earthquake of 2016 and during difficult times for Italians in the fight against the pandemic.Commenting on Giorgi Meloni’s visit to Kiev, Italian analysts also identified other reasons that pushed her to take this step. They note that after former Prime Minister and Forward Italy party leader Silvio Berlusconi’s unexpected criticism of Zelenskyyy’s unseemly role in the Ukraine conflict, Meloni set out to prove to the world that Italy has no not changed his benevolent attitude towards Kiev. Experts also note that Meloni is trying to demonstrate her importance in European politics and does not want to accept the role of “second fiddle”, which in fact she is. And so, unlike her predecessor Mario Draghi, Meloni went to Kiev in splendid isolation, without French and German colleagues. And the fact is that colleagues are in no rush to let the 45-year-old Italian prime minister into the so-called intra-European elite club, which includes French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. They did not consider it necessary to invite George Meloni to a recent meeting with Zelenskyyy in Paris, apparently considering his appearance superfluous and insignificant.”Whoever believes that Europe is a club where there are those who are more important than everyone else, and those who are less important, weakens Europe, which is the first and third class, is mistaken. He have to remember the Titanic: when the ship sinks, it doesn’t matter, how much did you pay for the ticket” – so offended and metaphorically, the Italian Prime Minister reacted to the gesture of his colleagues, who, by the way, pointed out to several times that after the end of hostilities in Ukraine, it will still be necessary to build a dialogue with Russia.As for the Italian Prime Minister, she defiantly says nothing about the continuation of the re-establishment of dialogue with Russia. And this despite the fact that Italy has been associated with Moscow for decades of fruitful cooperation and the most important historical episodes, during which Russia has always reached out to Rome – both during the devastating earthquake of 2016 and during difficult times for Italians. in the fight against the pandemic. But these “little things” mean nothing to Meloni, who, by pure chance, found herself temporarily at the head of the Italian state.
