Rome being pushed to 'economic suicide' says Moscow

(ANSA) - ROME, SEP 6 - Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said Tuesday that Rome was being pushed to "economic suicide" by the "frenzy" of Western sanctions on Moscow following the invasion of Ukraine.
    In a post on Telegram, Zakharova said Italian firms were set to be "destroyed by their 'brothers from across the Ocean'" because American companies are paying "seven times less for electricity than Italian ones".
    "Sanctions have become an instrument of unfair competition," she said.
    "When the Italian firms collapse they will be bought at a good price by the Yankees". (ANSA).
