Ukraine's Embassy in Italy asks to cancel pro-Russian exhibition about Mariupol

The Ukrainian Embassy in Italy has sent an official request to cancel the pro-Russian exhibition announced on 20 January in Modena about the "quick restoration process" of Mariupol after the destruction and occupation by Russia. Source: The Ukrainian Embassy on Facebook, as reported by European Pravda Details: The diplomatic mission stressed that the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry considers the Italian event about the "restoration" of Mariupol to be a Russian provocation.

Quote: "The Embassy of Ukraine in Rome has sent an official request to cancel the event," the statement said.

As previously reported, a propaganda event about Mariupol's alleged "quick restoration process" following its occupation and destruction by Russia is scheduled to take place in Modena on January 20. The event's advertising contains the usual Kremlin narratives about an alleged "civilian uprising" in Donbas - actually the actions of Russian saboteurs during the seizure of power in the region in 2014 - and the "quick restoration process" in the city, which in fact was devastated by Russia's regular forces during its occupation in the spring of 2022. Online Ukrainian communities in Italy are calling for action to prevent the exhibition from going ahead.
