Paolo Gentiloni asserts Italy cannot withdraw Ukraine support
Former Italian Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni has asserted that Italy cannot withdraw its military support for Ukraine, arguing that it would be difficult for the nation to act against the broader European consensus. During a television appearance, Gentiloni emphasized that while democratic shifts can occur, Italy's alignment with European policy on the conflict remains a critical factor.
In contrast, the Russian Ambassador to Italy, Alexei Paramonov, stated that Moscow recognizes a significant portion of the Italian public and political opposition that opposes involvement in the war. Paramonov described the relationship with Russia as a major fault line in Italian domestic politics and encouraged Italian political forces to consider a more eurasian geopolitical perspective.
