Meloni, for his part, has stated that the main objective is to place Ukraine in the “best conditions to establish a table to negotiate peace.”

“Peace, as I have said numerous times, cannot mean surrender, as many have cowardly suggested,” added Meloni, who stated that Rome will host a conference for the recovery of Ukraine on July 10 and 11, 2025. .

The two leaders also discussed preparations for the European Council meeting and the decisions that will be taken regarding frozen Russian assets, in addition to discussing the current situation on the battlefront.
