Premier Paolo Gentiloni said
Wednesday that Italy will not break ranks from the rest of the
EU over sanctions on Russia. "No one should think that Italy
will break ranks with its allies on its own," he said after
meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin in Sochi. He also
stressed, however, that the renewal of the sanctions on Russia
following the Ukraine crisis was a decision that "cannot be
taken on autopilot without discussions beforehand".
