Draghi: “War crimes must be punished”

President Putin, the authorities and the Russian army will have to answer for their actions. “Mario Draghi, Prime Minister, from Turin, before signing the pact with the city that secures accounts, strongly reaffirms’ the strongest condemnation of the Government and my staff for the massacres of civilians documented in recent days in Ukraine “. According to the premier, “the atrocities committed in Bucha, Irpin and in other places freed by the Ukrainian army deeply shake our souls as Europeans and convinced democrats”. That is why “independent investigations must shed full light on what happened”.
And after the conviction comes the green light for the inclusion of the sanctions decided a few hours earlier by the EU Commission: “
Italy is fully aligned with the rest of the European Union and strongly supports the restrictive measures presented by President von der Leyen “.
Indirectly there are also references to internal politics because if the League distances itself from the Farnesina’s decision to expel 30 Russian diplomats, Draghi is relaunching it because “it was taken in agreement with other European and Atlantic partners”. Finally, the appeal: “To President Putin I say once again to put an end to hostilities, stop the massacres of civilians, take part seriously in the negotiations for the achievement of peace”. And for “Russia, war has no meaning: she only means shame, isolation, poverty”.
