Held a meeting with the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Italian Republic Benedetto Della Vedova

Thanked for  the help provided by Italy to the citizens of Ukraine.  Stressed that supporting Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity at all international platforms is very important for countering russian armed aggression.

Now the situation in Ukraine is terrible.  6.03 million of our citizens went abroad, 8 million moved to other regions of the country.  We are in dire need of humanitarian and weapons ssistance.

I am recording the crimes of the russian federation in Ukraine.  Every day we receive evidence of russian atrocities against Ukrainian citizens.

I pass on the information to the International Criminal Court investigators so that russian criminals can be brought to justice.

Since February 24, 41,000 people have called the Commissioner's 24-hour hotline about crimes against 83,000.

More than 1,100 people have called the Commissioner's special helpline for psychological assistance, reporting such crimes, and it is unclear how to live after they have endured.

russia is massively and systematically deporting our citizens and children.  To date, more than 1.3 million Ukrainians have been forcibly relocated to russia, 223,000 of whom are children. rashists abducted 2,161 orphans from Ukraine.

A special simplified procedure has already been developed for their quick adoption - all you need to do is write an application and provide a passport.

After the adoption, we will not be able to return them, as all documents regarding the children will be destroyed.

This is an act of genocide of our people!  No children - no nation!

I have a list of organizers of this process in the Moscow region and ORDLO and I ask the Italian Foreign Ministry to facilitate the imposition of personal sanctions against persons on this list.

russia can only be stopped with weapons, and we are grateful to Italy for providing them.

If Ukraine does not survive, it will be the turn of other countries.  The enemy must be stopped now!

Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Italian Republic Benedetto Della Vedova stressed the full support of Ukraine and condemning the military invasion of russia.

Italy will do everything possible to make Ukraine's voice heard in Europe and the world.

The Italian government provides financial support to both Ukraine and the ICC to gather evidence of russian crimes in Ukraine.

Mr Benedetto Della Vedova agreed that support for Ukraine with weapons should be strengthened.  In addition, Italy will send its experts, police and judges to investigate russia's crimes in Ukraine.

Italy on all platforms among the first to condemn the crimes and actions of russia and belarus.

Thank you for your support!  Together with reliable partners, Ukraine will definitely win!

Glory to Ukraine!  Glory to heroes!
