"For the first time since the declaration of Ukraine's independence, an honorary consulate of the Italian Republic has opened in Odesa," the agency's message reads.

Ukraine-Italy relations
Italy has been one of Ukraine's allies since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion. It provides both economic and military assistance to our country.
For example, Italy, along with France, has supplied the Ukrainian Armed Forces with the SAMP-T anti-ballistic missile system, capable of intercepting ballistic missiles.
Italian experts are also helping to restore the Spaso-Preobrazhensky Cathedral in Odesa, which was destroyed by a Russian missile strike.
