Former Russian president and premier
Dmitri Medvedev's threats to "eliminate" opponents of Russia are
"extremely serious and dangerous" and fuel a campaign of htared,
Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio said Tuesday.
Russian Security Council Vice President Medvedev's statements
that he "hates" opponents, whom he characterized as "bastards
and klutzes", are "unacceptable words, which concern us
strongly also because they come from the deputy president of the
Russian Security Council," said the Italian foreign minister.
"It is not a sign of dialogue, not an opening towards a
cease-fire, it is not an attempt to find peace, but they are
unequivocal words of threat towards those who are insistently
seeking peace".
Medvedev, seen as Russian President Vladimir Putin's right-hand
man, said he would "do everything I can to eliminate those who
oppose Russia".
