The Russian foreign ministry has
welcomed the new Italian government's call for Western sanctions
on Russia to be revised.
Responding to ANSA, the ministry said that Moscow aims to
work "jointly with the new Italian government in a spirit of
positive continuity of Russian-Italian relations.
"We weren't the ones to introduce them (the sanctions) but we
will undoubtedly welcome considered, reasonable approaches.
"The declarations of the (new) Premier Giuseppe Conte in the
Italian parliament (this week) show that the head of the new
government intends to cooperate with our country.
"Russia intends to do the same".
