These are the words of the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella, who adds that the path to peace passes through “a restoration of the truth, of international law, of the freedom of the Ukrainian people”.

“The reasons of the energy market – continues the Italian Head of State – but the responsibility of the institutions is precisely to suppress them. Only the EU has the strength to do this, by intervening on price automatisms, on excessive increases, on intolerable speculation to the detriment of citizens: businesses and families must be protected in the most acute phases of the crisis , otherwise tomorrow will be compromised”.

Lukeshenko: “NATO and Europe are considering attacking Belarus, even with a nuclear attack”

Alexander Lukashenko said: “The situation around Belarus, as we have already said, remains tense. One of the reasons is that the West continues to assert that the Belarusian army will engage directly in Ukraine. After being influenced by these false stories, the military and political leaders of the North Atlantic Alliance and some European countries are now openly weighing the options to carry out aggression against our country, even leading to a nuclear attack”.
