“Putin has fallen into a really difficult and dramatic situation.” This was said by the president of Forza Italia Silvio Berlusconi in Porta a Porta. “I say that he has fallen,” explains the former prime minister, “because it was a mission of two pro-Russian Donbass republics, which went to Moscow, talked to everyone, radio, press, television, party people. with party ministers, and then with Putin, and they told him: “Zelensky has increased his attacks on our forces on our borders, 16,000 of us have died, please defend us, because if you do not defend us, you do not know where we could go.”
“Putin was pressured by the Russian people, party, ministers to come up with this special operation in which Russian troops would have to arrive in Kiev within a week and replace Zelensky’s government with a government of decent people and another week to return. Instead, they encountered unexpected and unpredictable resistance from the Ukrainian troops, which were then also plundered by the West with all sorts of weapons. And today the number of deaths is increasing, the situation has become difficult to control, also because I did not understand why the Russian troops were scattered around Ukraine, when in my opinion – explains Berlusconi – they should only have stopped near Kiev. madness, seeing what is happening now with people killing, I find it an unimaginable crazy thing. ”
The position on the transport of weapons to Kiev is clear: “Absolutely yes for the transport of weapons to Ukraine. We cannot, under any circumstances, break our participation in NATO, Europe and the United States in the world. “
