Putin confidant Medvedev is particularly fond of complaining about wine deliveries from Italy. The former Russian president has repeatedly warned that a nuclear war could break out as a result of a break-up of the European Union.

The Insider found that the wine arrived in Russia on June 17, 2022, two days after the Ukraine-scale invasion.
