Although ex-premier and Forza Italia
Silvio Berlusconi has not publicly responded to the attack he
came under from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during
Premier Giorgia Meloni's visit to Kyiv on Tuesday, but he is
reportedly immensely irritated by it.
Zelensky attacked Berlusconi during a joint press conference
with Meloni after the media billionaire's controversial recent
comments that were highly critical of the Ukrainian leader and
seemed to suggest Russia had been provoked into invading its
neighbour.
"I think that Berlusconi's house has never been bombed, that
tanks have never arrived in his garden," Zelensky said.
Forza Italia are also reportedly upset that Meloni, who
reiterated Italy's support for Kyiv as it fights the Russian
invaders, did not defend Berlusconi more explicitly.
