Today the leaders of member states and international organisations of the Coalition of the Willing gathered in London, Rome and virtually to discuss strengthening support to Ukraine and further pressure on Russia.

Russia launches hundreds of drones and missiles every night, so Ukraine needs increased investments in air defense and the establishment of a coalition of countries for recovery. This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the opening of the Ukraine Recovery Conference 2025, held in Rome.

More than 500 companies are represented here at the Conference. Around 200 agreements are ready to be signed, with a total value of over 10 billion euros. All of this must be fully implemented.

Ukraine and Austria will step up joint efforts to launch the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression committed by Russia against Ukraine. This was the key topic of discussion during the meeting between Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Iryna Mudra and Ambassador of the Republic of Austria to Ukraine Robert Müller.

The use of frozen Russian assets for the benefit of Ukraine is not a question of legal feasibility, but of political determination. This was stated by Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Iryna Mudra, during an online address at an event held within the framework of the Ukraine Recovery Conference taking place in Rome.

As part of her visit to the Italian Republic, First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska met with Italy’s Minister of University and Research Anna Maria Bernini. During the meeting, a Memorandum was signed to mark the accession of an Italian university to the Global Coalition of Ukrainian Studies.

In Rome, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Ukraine Keith Kellogg.
