Italian Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio called the statements of the Vice President of the Russian Security Council and former President Dmitry Medvedev to Western countries “dangerous and unacceptable, and we are very concerned because it comes from the Vice President of the Security Council.”

“People often ask why my posts on Telegram are so cruel? The answer is I hate them. They are bastards and degenerates. They want our death, the death of Russia. As long as I am alive, I will do anything to make them disappear,” wrote Medvedev.

Di Maio pointed out that Medvedev’s words “do not indicate dialogue and openness to a ceasefire and peace, but are unequivocal words that threaten those who constantly strive for peace.”

“Our duty is to stop fomenting tensions with provocations and threats: to achieve peace, the openness of Ukraine and the momentum of the international community are not enough, we need the readiness of Russia and Putin for dialogue. “, – said the head of Italian diplomacy.
