The former prime minister again shocked with pro-Kremlin statements and embarrassed his boss, Prime Minister Meloni.
Silvio Berlusconi has done it again: with just a few words, the former prime minister managed to shatter Italy’s international credibility and destroy the pro-Western public relations campaign of his boss, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Because shortly after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit to Brussels, Italy’s most famous senator apparently felt the need to declare his loyalty to friend Vladimir Putin and present his propaganda.
“If I were prime minister, I wouldn’t know Zelensky,” Berlusconi told reporters. Because: “Your country is being destroyed, soldiers and civilians are being massacred. It would never have come this far if he (Zelensky) had stopped the attacks on the autonomous republics in Donbass.” The 86-year-old blamed the Ukrainian head of state for the Russian invasion. And: “I judge this gentleman’s behavior very, very negatively.”
