What preceded
Earlier, Russian pranksters had a phone conversation with the Prime Minister of Italy, Giorgia Meloni. They posed as "the president of the African Union commission.”
During the conversation with Meloni, they discussed the war in Ukraine.
"There is a lot of tiredness on all sides. The moment is approaching when everyone will understand that we need a way out," complained the Prime Minister of Italy, commenting on Russia's war against Ukraine.
She added that the Ukrainian Armed Forces' counteroffensive seems to be not going "as expected." And therefore, she thinks that the "conflict could last many years if we don’t find a solution."
