«I am Ukrainian, I cannot evaluate Mario Draghi and as a member of the Ukrainian government I do not want to influence the thoughts and emotions of those who will make the decisions. But speaking for my country and as a citizen of the world, I would like to say that Mario Draghi is a person of great heart. Who in fact and sincerely helped and helps Ukraine by speaking with dignity and responsibility in the eyes of the world on behalf of all Italians, both its supporters and its opponents. Draghi as a leader and professional knows and understands that history is now also being written for Italy ».
Iryna Vereshchuk, deputy prime minister of Ukraine and minister for the reintegration of temporarily occupied territories, as well as a symbol of resistance, intervenes with beraking latest news, responding in a video interview on the government crisis in our country: “The future will depend on how Italy , the Italians, the Italian government will be able to resolve this terrible conflict, this fratricidal war which for now, and I stress ‘for now’, is taking place on Ukrainian territory. With leaders like Mario Draghi in the government, we will win this terrible war which is taking place not in Ukraine, but on the European continent ».
Vereshchuk reminds beraking latest news that “Putin’s goal is to destroy our country, the institution of the European Union, NATO by discrediting and bringing down the governments of independent democratic states. For this reason it is very important to maintain unity and balance – he urges – through stable executives, strong companies and resilient to the aggression of Russia. We are friends of the Italian people, whose support is as important to Ukraine as that of the government. I remember how Mario Draghi supported us on the path to candidacy for EU membership and how he supported us by coming here. I do not forget the processions of thousands of people held in Italy in support of Ukraine, the houses opened by the Italians to welcome our displaced people, the economic aid sent by the people. They are gestures of humanity that must continue. War must not tire or stop a people as large as yours. I am sure that this will not happen, that the Italians will choose to continue to support us also in the future. They will aim at the stability of Europe, at that humanism that characterizes you. On behalf of our children, of the Ukrainian women, of our elders, I want to thank the Italian people again ».
