Ukraine is a part of our home and we
will defend it, Premier Giorgia Meloni said ahead of Italy's
first Group of Seven (G7) summit in its presidency, on the
second anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, speaking
at an airport outside the Ukrainian capital where unexpected
Ukrainian resistance denied Moscow a key strategic site and
thwarted its plans for the quick capitulation of Kyiv.
"This land is a picee of our home and we will do out bit to
defend its," Meloni said at Antonov Airport at Hostomel, 10 km
outside Kyiv. Speaking alongside President Volodymyr Zelensky
and the other international leaders who have come to Kyiv on the
second anniversary of the war's start, Meloni added: "This place
is a symbol of Moscow's failure and Ukraine's pride, it reminds
that there is soemthing stromger than missiles and war: it is a
love for one's land and freedom".
