Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni will travel to Kyiv on February 20 to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, a political source said. Meloni, who took office in October, had said she planned to visit Kyiv before the February 24 anniversary of Russia's invasion. Despite friction within her rightist coalition and divided public opinion, Meloni has been a firm supporter of Ukraine. Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, leader of the conservative Forza Italia party that's part of Meloni's coalition, said he wouldn't seek a Zelenskiy meeting if he were still in office because he blames Zelenskiy for the war.
