The ex-Prime Minister of Italy Silvio Berlusconi accused Zelensky at the beginning of the war with Russia-the media
So, on the published record of Berlusconi says that the war began in 2014, Ukraine allegedly attacked the "newly created republics of Donbass" contrary to the "peace treaty" signed in Minsk. "Both republics have suffered losses among the servicemen who have reached, as I was told, 5-6-7 thousand killed," the Italian politician said.
Berlusconi then stated that after coming to power in 2019, Volodymyr Zelenskyy continued to "attack the republics", which was why their heads had to seek help from Russian President Vladimir Putin. According to the Italian politician, Russian troops had to put in Ukraine "reasonable power" of decent people and return. Berlusconi then said that the resistance of Ukrainians was unpredictable, and therefore the war turned from a "two -week operation" into a two -hundred -year conflict.
Politicians also criticized Europe and the United States for interfering with war in Ukraine. Berlusconi himself passed through the journalist of the LA7 TV channel to be inscribed in "wider discourse". But the chairman of the Italian Brothers Party, George Meloni, who should hold the post of Prime Minister of the country, said Italy is part of Europe and the Atlantic Alliance.
"Italy with us in the government will never be a weak link in the West, an unreliable country that many of our detractors like," she said. Earlier, Focus reported that Berlusconi boasted how vodka "reconciled" with Putin. In response to the presentation of the Kremlin, an Italian politician sent him cute letters and a few bottles of sparkling wine. It was also reported that Putin's friend Berlusconi suggested becoming a mediator between Ukraine and Russia.
