Kravchenko also suggested that Carlo Formosa create an online platform for business cooperation between one of the regions of Italy and Kyiv.

"I hope that other regions will be interested in this opportunity over time, and we will be able to expand this practice. We discussed with Mr. Ambassador the holding of the Conference on the Restoration of Ukraine, which will be held in Italy next year. The Kyiv region is already preparing projects to attract investment in the reconstruction of the region," wrote the head of the Kyiv RMA.
