Interior Minister and Deputy
Premier Matteo Salvini has said that the new Italian government
is ready to take action to seek to bring about a revision of the
West's sanctions on Russia.
"In Italy a government has come to power that wants to do
what it promised in the election campaign," Salvini told
Russia-24 in an interview picked up by Tass.
"The sanctions on Russia are useless and harmful.
"We are ready to go from words to deeds, but there aren't
many who think like us in Europe and we are alone against the
whole world".
When asked about the hypothesis of Italy using a veto to
block the renewal of the sanctions, Salvini said: "I don't want
to take the job of the Premier (Giuseppe Conte)".
