Russian envoy hails Italy stop (2)

(ANSA) - Verona, October 21 - Russian Ambassador to Italy Sergey Razov on Friday hailed Italy's successful opposition to possible EU sanctions against Moscow over its bombing of the Syrian city of Aleppo. "The Italian position taken in Brussels follows a non-contradictory line and reflects the opinion of the Italians, the political establishment and above all the country's business community," he said. "This time good sense prevailed in the EU, I hope". Russia has been widely criticised over its bombing of Aleppo.
