Premier Matteo Renzi said
Friday Europe needs Russia in order to combat Islamist terror.
"We have never made a secret of our position," Renzi told
reporters at the close of an EU summit on terrorism and
immigration. "In order to fight extremism, we need Russia to
also be at the table". The premier added he hoped for a speedy
lifting of European sanctions against Russia over its annexation
of the Ukraine's Crimea peninsula. The sanctions "are mutual",
said Renzi.
