Italian newspapers overwhelmingly prioritized the Ukraine Reconstruction Conference in Rome throughout the day. Opening coverage highlighted renewed, massive Russian attacks on Kyiv while international leaders convened in the Italian capital to discuss Ukraine's future. Prime Minister Meloni prominently pledged over 10 billion euros for rebuilding efforts, with Italy specifically focusing on Odessa, and emphasized Western unity against Russia's perceived failed plan. Diplomatic discussions also gained traction, including new peace proposals debated by US and Russian figures, with comparisons drawn between European financial commitment and perceived US hesitancy. Domestically, the controversy surrounding Minister Nordio and the "Almasri case" persisted, appearing alongside reports of declining industrial production and the passage of an infrastructure bill.
