He was welcomed by the mayor Stefano Lo Russo and the president of the Region Alberto Cirio.
"
Before talking about the" Pact for Turin ", I want to reiterate the strongest condemnation of the Government and my personal for the massacres of civilians documented in recent days in Ukraine.
The atrocities committed in Bucha, Irpin and in other places freed by the Ukrainian army they deeply shake our souls as Europeans and convinced democrats. Independent investigations must shed full light on what has happened. War crimes must be punished. President Putin, the authorities and the Russian army will have to answer for their actions ".
Thus the premier Mario Draghi in Turin.
"Today we expelled 30 Russian diplomats,
a decision taken in agreement with other European and Atlantic partners. I am telling President Putin once again to end hostilities, stop the massacres of civilians, to give this ceasefire" he said. Prime Minister Mario Draghi said during the signing of the Pact for Turin.
"For the great Russian people, war has no meaning, it only means shame, isolation, poverty," he added
"
Italy and the European Union support the Ukrainian people, fighting for peace and freedom.
The European Commission has just announced a new package of sanctions against Moscow. Italy is fully aligned with the rest of the country. European Union and strongly supports the restrictive measures presented by President von der Leyen ".
