"An unequivocal message. Firm condemnation of Italy for farce referendums, consultations conducted by the Russian Federation in an illegal way in violation of all international norms".
This was stated by the secretary general of the foreign ministry Ettore Sequi at a press point after the interview with the Russian ambassador Serghey Razov.
"Italy does not recognize and will not recognize the outcome".
"I urged the Russian authorities to revoke these illicit acts (referendums) and to withdraw Russian forces from Ukrainian territory unconditionally, completely and immediately," Sequi said.
"Italy will be fully aligned with partner countries in evaluating further restrictive measures against Russia's illegal actions as a peaceful means of pressure to end this war of aggression", said Sequi, according to which "Ukraine has the right to liberate the occupied territories within its internationally recognized borders. And we will continue to provide strong support to Ukraine for as long as necessary. "
Sequi also stated that "the issue of the sabotage of the Nord Stream was not dealt with during the interview".
The threat of using nuclear weapons, the very serious violations of the principles and rules of the United Nations Charter seriously undermine global security, writes the Ministry in a note released after the meeting between Sequi and Razov
