On the occasion of the 32nd anniversary of Ukraine’s independence, on 24 August 2023, the Palazzo della Farnesina was illuminated in the colours of the Ukrainian flag.
The illumination of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was one of several initiatives by Italy and the other G7, NATO and European Union partners, who, on Ukraine’s Independence Day, wished the Ukrainian government and people well, emphasising their support for the defence of the country against Russia’s aggression.
