Italy-Russia economic and diplomatic relations

Overview

Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini has advocated for the protection of approximately 350 Italian companies currently operating in Russia, noting that 100 have direct production in the country and 250 are involved in import-export activities. Salvini highlighted operational hurdles such as difficulties with international payments, customs, and logistics.

He expressed opposition to potential EU measures that would block all Russian visas, including tourist visas, and argued that diplomacy should eventually replace military action. Salvini suggested that once the conflict in Ukraine concludes, Italy should work toward restoring full commercial, cultural, and academic ties with Moscow. He also indicated that Italy could resume importing Russian gas after the war. The Kremlin responded that any resumption of gas supplies would be a commercial matter contingent upon profitability and volume availability.
