As integration and reconstruction efforts advance, balancing civil and military priorities remains essential for long-term stability.

Italy’s active engagement aligns with broader European recovery strategies, fostering public-private partnerships to drive economic growth in Ukraine despite financial constraints and geopolitical volatility.
