In the West, Zelensky's visit to Rome was called an indicator of the decline of Italy

The visit of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky to Italy to meet with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni was an indicator of the decline in which Rome found itself. This was stated on April 20 by Italian international relations expert Lorenzo Maria Pacini in an article for Strategic Culture.

"While Meloni is posing next to Zelensky <...>, Italians are still forced to put up with constant low salaries, a health care system in chronic decline, and industry losing ground," the article says.
