Mellon, who took office in October, has repeatedly expressed a desire to visit Ukraine.
After taking office, she said Ukraine could count on supporting the new Italian government.
Italy's former prime minister, Mario Draghi, has been one of the strongest supporters of European Union sanctions against Russia, due to the war in Ukraine, despite Italy's strong dependence on Russian gas.
Rome has also sent weapons to help Kiev fight the forces of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Melon, who leads Italy's far-right party Brothers, is Eurosceptic, but has supported Draghi's stance in Ukraine, even though her allies in the election coalition, League party leader Matteo Salvini, and former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi have good reports with Moscow.
It has distanced itself from partners in its ruling coalition. / REL
