Russia must feel strong pressure from Europe - Mattarella

(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 26 - Russia must feel "strong pressure" from Europe to end its war on Ukraine, President Sergio Mattarella said after talks with Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune in Rome Thursday.
    "We spoke about the sad affair of Russia's war on Ukraine. I remarked that in Italy's view it is necessary to pressure the Russian federation so that it agrees to a truce. WE must arrive at a cease-fire and negotiations. We hope that this will happen but we believe that Russia must feel strong pressure from Europe," the Italian head of state said. (ANSA).
