Former Prime Minister of Italy, leader of the Forza Italia party, Silvio Berlusconi, after accusing President Volodymyr Zelensky at the beginning of a full-scale war, said that he “has always been on the side of the Ukrainian people.”
That’s what he’s about wrote on Facebook on February 14.
According to Berlusconi, if you “look at the facts”, Italy has always supported the Ukrainians, “without hesitation and doubt” voted in Europe in support of Ukraine, “sending funding and weapons”.
“I have always been and am on the side of the Ukrainian people and peace. I hope that a diplomatic solution to this very dangerous war for all of us will be found in the near future,” he said.
Berlusconi also says that he proposed “a great Marshall plan for the recovery of Ukraine.” He assesses it as “a possible diplomatic way to end this conflict, which is very dangerous for all of us.”
On February 12, Berlusconi once again accused Zelensky of starting a full-scale war unleashed by Russia and declared that he would “never go” to talk to him. At that time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine called his accusations ridiculous, “an attempt to show his loyalty” and “kiss hands that are covered in blood up to the elbows” to the dictator Vladimir Putin.
In 2022, LaPresse published an audio recording in which Berlusconi blamed Zelensky, who, according to him, had “tripled the attacks” on the L/DPR terrorist organization for the start of Russia’s war against Ukraine.
