President Sergio Mattarella told
visiting Hungarian President Katalin Novák that military aid to
Ukraine was aimed at ending the war with Russia and not
prolonging it.
"The political, economic and military support to Ukraine and the
sanctions on Russia are aimed at ending the war, not fuelling
it", he said after talks at the Quirinale presidential palace
amid Novak's state visit to Italy.
In addition to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and its
political, economic and humanitarian consequences, the Quirinale
said, the topics of discussion at the meeting included bilateral
relations, the future of the EU and relations with the US,
migration, the Western Balkans and the persecution of Christians
around the world.
