Italy is far from the only EU country demanding the lifting of anti-Russian sanctions imposed by Brussels.
About this in an interview“To Kommersant”stated the permanent representative of the Russian Federation to the EU Vladimir Chizhov.
“Not only in Italy, but also in a number of other countries, forces opposing sanctions have strengthened. In addition, it is important to note such a factor as the impact of business on the political position of EU member countries. Despite the sanctions, virtually no major European company has left Russia. They could shift their plans, cut something somewhere, but the absolute majority remained. And they are urging their governments to abandon policies that are harmful to business development.
