Premier Mario Draghi said during the
G7 session with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky Monday
that "we are united with Ukraine, because if Ukraine loses, all
the democracies lose.
"If Ukraine loses, it will more difficult to maintain that
democracy is an effective model of government."
Draghi thanked Zelensky for his "exceptional welcome" to Kyiv
when the Italian premier visited the Ukrainian capital with his
French and German counterparts recently.
"Putin must not win. We remain united in support of Ukraine,"
Draghi stressed.
The Italian premier also reiterated the importance of continuing
to work on a gas price cap after securing a promise of a report
to be examined in October at last week's EU summit.
"We must continue to work on how to impose a cap on the price of
gas", said the Italian premier.
The two-day G7 summit took place Sunday and Monday at Elmau
Castle in Germany.
