Sanctions should remain. Volker warned Italy

US Special Representative for Ukraine Kurt Volker said that Italy may have problems in relations with the European Union if it unilaterally lifts sanctions from Russia.

Sanctions should remain. Volker warned Italy




Abolishing sanctions would definitely be the wrong signal. We must ensure that the sanctions remain in force, and, possibly, become tougher due to Russia's actions
- said Volker in an interview with the newspaper La Stampa on Monday.

Volker recalled that the restrictions on Moscow are not Italian, but European measures. Therefore, a unilateral decision of Italy on this subject can lead to serious problems in relations with the European Union.

As a reason for the sanctions, Volker named the fact that "Russia does not comply with the obligations on the use of the Minsk agreements."

She did other things, for example, made an attack with nerve gas in the UK
- added Volker.

The candidate for the post of head of the future government of Italy from the center-right forces is the leader of the Italian Liga party, Matteo Salvini, who has repeatedly harshly criticized anti-Russian measures. He repeatedly said that if he received the post of prime minister, he would demand the lifting of sanctions on Moscow.

In this regard, Italy is predicted to be the main supporter of Russia in the EU and becoming the “largest Russophile democracy in Europe”.

        So let's see what eggs Salvini has. wink
        If everything is properly muddied up - the sex of the European Union will be lifted. We need a real violent, so that there is a leader. And punishing dozens of countries for the United States will be more expensive. hi

          Yes, liquid, liquid. Yes This has never happened before, so that the USA would not be bent by Italy on a matter that is necessary for the USA. But, the truth, and the Italians are not a damn honors in anything. Including in the matter of maintaining the rigidity of the sanctions regime. Plus, the fact that they are sitting at the end of a giant pipe along which Russian gas flows is a hint of support for Russia's initiatives to build gas pipelines in the southern direction.

        Of course, they draw another * Russia’s * ally again, all this chatter. A post will also begin to dance to the tune and vilify us. The vector of the West will not change until the United States loses its hegemony. They also wrote about trump what our friend is ... right now he can’t make a noise in the white house, but if he couldn’t ... can anyone even move the neocons to Olympus? ....

      It is amusing here that the US Special Representative for Ukraine is teaching Italy what to do with the Russian Federation, so as not to expose itself to EU sanctions. The question is, what does this “wolves” have to do with Italy and the EU?

    Zadolbali! Our Foreign Ministry needs to print the Minsk Agreement long time ago in paragraphs, in large print, and constantly post it at all briefings. There is not a single word about Russia's obligations. They brazenly lie at all angles, and we remain silent or mumble the languages ​​of Zakharova and Peskov. Both of them, no longer meet today's requirement of the time. Explicit representatives trapped in MGIMO. negative
