Rome, September 2025 – On Friday, October 3, 2025 (10:30–12:00 CET), the Centro Studi Internazionali (CSI), Italian partner of the Westminster Alliance for Ukraine (WA4U), will host a high-level debate in Rome on “The Present and the Future of Ukraine – The Role of the Coalition of the Willing in Supporting Ukraine and the Post-Conflict Transition.”

Organized with the support of the Adenauer Foundation and the magazine Europa 2028, the event will bring together parliamentarians, institutional representatives, academics, security and international relations experts, and stakeholders from the energy, defense, and technology sectors, alongside journalists from across Europe.

Launched last May in the UK House of Commons, the Westminster Alliance for Ukraine is a transnational inter-parliamentary initiative aimed at strengthening political and public support for the Coalition of the Willing, promoted by UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron, with the participation of 31 countries, including Italy.

Focusing on the E5 countries – France, Germany, Italy, Poland, and the United Kingdom – WA4U facilitates dialogue among parliamentarians, civil society, experts, and political representatives from Kyiv through regular meetings across European capitals.

The Rome event will feature two thematic panels:

• The role of the Coalition of the Willing in supporting Ukraine

• Peacebuilding and post-war reconstruction

The goal is to encourage strategic reflection among key actors and to produce concrete proposals to be presented at upcoming European meetings of the Alliance and relevant institutions.
