Ukraine said the Orthodox cathedral was damaged when it was hit during a Russian missile attack on the country's southern port city in July last year. Russia denied responsibility."On May 15 we will sign off on a deal with Kyiv and UNESCO here in Rome for the reconstruction of Odesa and its cathedral," Tajani told a question time session in the lower house of parliament.
In February, Italy and UNESCO had already signed an agreement in Kyiv to provide 500 million euros towards the restoration of the roof of Odesa's Spaso-Preobrazhenskyi, or Transfiguration Cathedral. "As the G7 presidency, we continue to work for a just peace," Tajani told lawmakers, adding that supporting Ukraine's energy system was also a priority for Italy.
Rome holds the rotating presidency of the Group of Seven wealthy nations until the end of this year.ADVERTISEMENT
