The premier, despite the provocations, confirmed its full support for Ukraine and Italian policies to combat illegal immigration“, they explained from the Italian Government.

When asked about Russia’s war in Ukraine, Meloni, speaking in English, said: “I see that there is a lot of fatigueI have to tell the true, all over. We are close to the moment when everyone understands that we need a way out“.

“The problem is to find a way out that is acceptable to both without destroying international law. I have some ideas on how to approach this situation, but I am waiting for the right moment to put them on the table,” he added.

The YouTubers were accused of having ties to the Kremlin, to which they responded to the newspaper LaPresse: “Since 2011, when we started our jokes, they say that we are linked to the Russian secret services or the Kremlin. But it is absolutely false. “It’s a conspiracy theory.”

In that sense, they added: “What interest could the Kremlin or the KGB have in making prank calls to movie stars or famous singers? Thinking that there is someone behind us is simply the easiest way to think that we have managed to make fun of famous people. But we’re just two guys who found a way to play pranks on these important people.”.
