Silvio Berlusconi returns to comment on the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but this time in more distant tones towards his historical friend Vladimir Putin. At the Forza Italia congress in Milan, ahead of the regional elections in Lombardy, the former prime minister said that the one in Ucriana “is a war that nobody knows when it will end, a war that has repercussions on all European countries , and a war that is too paradoxically, it often leads to absurd hypotheses about the use of nuclear weapons», as does «Putin four days ago». However, Berlusconi also remains critical of Europe’s diplomatic role, which “unfortunately does not count at international level today, but by switching the voting system from unanimity to qualified majority, as I have been demanding since 2000, would be possible in the United Kingdom with absolute freedom of all states, a common defense policy with a single vote, the coordination of the armed forces of the individual European countries”.
Negotiations for Russia in the EU
Berlusconi regrets the missed opportunity years ago when he undertook to start the process of Russia’s accession to the European Union: “We hoped to be able to convince Russia, which is an absolutely European country by history, tradition, religion, its literature, its music, for his lifestyle to invade our Europe and thus put an end to the danger hanging over us of Chinese globalism spreading on our continent”. with the exception of Germany and France, who, on the other hand, rightly feared that Russia’s accession to the European Union would lose its primacy in Europe. It was a great pity, and today, unfortunately, the situation has returned to that of the Cold War.”
