European leaders opened the annual recovery conference on Ukraine held in Italy on Thursday by announcing a new equity fund and public-private partnerships in a push for investment in rebuilding Ukraine now, even as Russia intensifies its all-out war, now well into its fourth year.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy kicked off the proceedings in Rome as Russia pounded Ukraine’s capital with another major missile and drone attack overnight in some of the heaviest strikes on Kyiv since Moscow's full-scale invasion began in early 2022.
