Premier Giorgia Meloni's diplomatic
advisor Francesco Maria Talò resigned on Friday over a prank
call from two Russian comics posing as an African leader in
which the premier spoke of Ukraine war fatigue and said a way
out of the conflict was needed soon, Meloni told a press
conference on constitutional government reform Friday.
Meloni said the incident had highlighted "superficiality" on the
part of her diplomatic office.
"The call was dealt with carelessly, and exposed the nation,"
she said.
Meloni has been publicly staunch in her defence of Kyiv's
refusal to negotiate with Moscow until the Russian aggressor is
driven from all its lands including Crimea.
