Italy’s Deputy Prime Minister, Matteo Salvini, firmly stated that no Italian soldier would die in the name of French President Emmanuel Macron. His comments followed Macron’s suggestion of potential NATO ground troops in Ukraine, triggering a sharp response from Salvini.
Salvini’s stance aligns with his pro-Russia position, highlighted by his symbolic support for Russian President Vladimir Putin. Sandro Gozi, a member of the European Parliament, criticized Salvini’s alignment, emphasizing the gravity of his choice to side with Putin and Russia over Western allies.
The exchange underscores the deepening divisions within European politics over the Ukraine crisis.–News Desk
