Russian opposition political
activist Alexei Navalny has told ANSA that Italy should be a
friend of the Russian people, not its oligarchs.
"There is a solid relationship between Italy and Russia and
the Russians consider the Italians a special people," Navalny
said in exclusive interview, the first given to the Italian
media after his election exclusion.
"I'd like to see a more active position by Italy on
individual sanctions because your country is a major destination
for the dirty money of the oligarchs, who steal here and then go
and have fun in your resorts.
"I'd like it to be more a friend of the Russian people and
less of Putin's oligarchs".
