“The European Commission certainly does not speak in my name or in the name of Italy”
“I have already commented on my Facebook post, I do not know on whose behalf the spokesperson of the European Commission is speaking, certainly not on my behalf or on behalf of Italy which has expressly prohibited the use of weapons sold outside the Ukrainian borders. In what capacity does he express himself? The EU does not sell weapons, but it is the individual sovereign states that do so”. With these words the general Roberto VannacciMEP of the League, answers the question of Affaritaliani.it whether Ukraine has the right to attack Russian territory, even killing civilians, as the European Union claims.
Asked whether Ukrainian attacks in Russia are pushing peace further awayVannacci replies: “Of course, attacks on Russian territory mean that the Russians attack the Western weapons supply chain that threatens them on their own territory, risking hitting NATO targets or personnel and spiralling the course of the conflict, as those who want to support the war to the bitter end would perhaps hope”.
