Israel's premier is on his first visit to Rome since Italy's Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, took office last year
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni arrives in Kyiv, where she is expected to hold talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Meloni, who took office in October, has repeatedly expressed a desire to visit Ukraine to demonstrate her government's support following Russia's invasion almost exactly one year ago. Meloni, who leads the far-right Brothers of Italy party, is also keen to distance herself from the more pro-Russian partners in her governing coalition. IMAGES
Italy's right-wing Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has won the second and final vote of confidence required by the constitution to govern.
Meloni's appointment also marks the first time the country has had a far-right PM since World War II.
"We are ready to provide Italy with a government that can competently and consciously tackle our present-day challenges and emergencies," said Meloni.
