That’s according to the Ukrainian President’s Office, Ukrinform reports.

“Upon instruction of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Head of the Office of the President Andriy Yermak, a regular round of negotiations with Italy on the conclusion of a bilateral security document was held,” the report says.

The Ukrainian side was represented by Deputy Head of the President’s Office Ihor Zhovkva.
