A propaganda exhibition about Mariupol occupied by Russian invaders in the Italian city of Modena has been canceled. This decision was made by the mayor's office after a corresponding appeal from the Ukrainian side. This was reported by the representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Oleg Nikolenko.
The official noted that the authorities of the Italian city of Modena had withdrawn permission to hold a propaganda exhibition about the "prosperity" of Mariupol, which has been under Russian occupation since the spring of 2022.
"We sincerely welcome this decision. We are grateful to both the city hall and Ukrainians in Italy who did not allow the Italian society to be misled about the consequences of Russian crimes in Mariupol and Ukraine," the spokesman emphasized.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also called on other cities in the world not to provide platforms for similar Russian provocations.
"This will be an important contribution to Ukraine's victory over Russian aggression," noted Nikolenko.
