The number of opponents of Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s intervention in parliament is growing. A few hours after the Ukrainian President’s speech to the chambers, several deputies and senators have already announced that they will leave the classroom and announced their resignation: Lega deputies Simone Pillon and Vito Comencini and fivedigit deputy Enrica Segneri will not be present . In the afternoon, the announcement by the Alternativa group, the former M5S component that has led to an autonomous formation, that Zelenskyy’s speech is a “marketing operation”. As Alternativa parliamentarians “we will not participate in the joint session of the chambers, in which Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and Prime Minister Mario Draghi are supposed to speak together via video conference, say the Alternativa parliamentarians. For Alternative, “it is a constraint that does not change the state of things by one iota, one and only a marketing operation that does not serve to end hostilities and has no benefit to the offended party”.
These words certainly did not please the Ambassador of Ukraine to Italy, Yaroslav Melnyk, who was a guest on the March 21 episode of L’Aria che Tira, a show hosted by Myrta Merlino on La7: “Tomorrow, Zelensky will come to people and thank the people The Italian government will call for a tougher response to the attacker and other sanctions. You have the choice of every man and every deputy to prove his position. In this way they show that they are for war, continue to bomb cities and civilians, create humanitarian catastrophes in the world and violate the decisions of the free man and his future and violate all basic values of the western world. .
Ambassador Melnyk then addressed issues closely related to the war with Russia: “Our heroic people will resist to the end, we cannot rule out an attack on Odessa, the main goal is the occupation of Kyiv. We put up a lot of resistance and it seems to me that the Russians have already changed their strategy. Unsuccessful on the ground, they try to bomb the cities and launch rockets. During the wartime it is not possible to share the path of the negotiations, so we will only know at the end when the document is ready. The working groups do not stop and we all hope that these negotiations will lead us to peace.
