(ANSA) - ROME, JUN 22 - Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba on Wednesday thanked Italian counterpart Luigi Di Maio for Italy's support for Kyiv against the Russian invasion.
"I'm grateful to Luigi Di Maio for his integrity," Kuleba said a day after the Italian foreign minister split from his 5-Star Movement (M5S) to form a new party after disagreements over sending military aid to Ukraine.
"Italy has chosen the right side of history: supporting Ukraine is the only way to bring peace closer in Europe.
"Denying Ukraine support would encourage Russia to continue the war and expand it beyond Ukraine's borders".
Di Maio split with the M5S over leader Giuseppe Conte's call to end military aid to Ukraine arguing it prolongs the war and the country's suffering.
