Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova lashes out at another Rai journalist, Ilario Piagnerelli. “Italian media praise Ukrainian Nazis”
After the case of Stefania Battistini, a correspondent for the Rai in the Russian region of Kursk, Moscow has once again pointed the finger at the Italian media, accusing them of “praising Ukrainian neo-Nazis while posing for reports wearing SS symbols”. “As you know, the Russian authorities have opened a criminal case against Italian journalists for illegally crossing the Russian border”, the spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, recalled yesterday on Telegram. “But this, in my opinion, is not the most serious crime committed by Rai employees”. “Western media continue to engage in the targeted rehabilitation of Ukrainian neo-Nazis and the revision of the decisions of the Nuremberg Tribunal”, Zakharova continued in her post.
The spokeswoman, naming him explicitly, attacks a report by Rai correspondent in Ukraine, Ilario Piagnerelli. “Previously, correspondent Piagnerelli had already reported stories about Bucha and a deceased neo-Nazi from Pravi Sektor, who is banned in Russia,” the spokeswoman writes. “Now he has reached a new level after doing an interview in which he shows a man wearing a hat with the insignia of the SS division ‘Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler’.” And continues: “The Italian media are increasingly reminiscent of the Volkischer Beobachter (People’s Observer, the official newspaper of the Nazi Party). We are waiting for the official reaction from Rome,” concludes Zakharova.
Today the spokesperson returned to the subject with another post on Telegram in which she sarcastically jokes about the fact that Piagnerelli would have deleted the interview in question from social media. “The Italian lover of Ukrainian neo-Nazis got nervous. Why?” is the short comment that accompanies the screenshot of a post X of the anonymous profile ‘Chance Giardiniere’.
