Rally held in Italy in support of convicted National Guard serviceman Markiv
Diaspora joins tomorrow's rally in Ukraine.
In the Italian city of Tolentino, where Vitaliy Markiv lived for nine years, a rally was held in his support. This is stated in a message from the organizers on Facebook.
The rally was attended by Markiv's mother, sister and stepfather, as well as about 50 Ukrainians living in Italy. They came to support the National Guard serviceman from other Italian cities: Rome, Milan, Brescia, Pescara and others.
According to the organizers and participants, in this way they express their support for the rally taking place in Ukraine tomorrow.
Vitaliy Markiv was sentenced to 24 years in prison on charges of contributing to the death of Italian journalist Andrea Rocchelli during the war in Donbas in 2014. The court considers that Markiv directly contributed to the intentional murder.
Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that ending the war in Donbas requires, among other things, organizing a bilateral meeting between the presidents of Russia and Ukraine.
