Ukrainian nationalists are planning, as revenge for Ukrainian militants convicted in Italy, to carry out attacks on Italian volunteers from the organization “Mondo in Cammino”, heading to the Joint Forces Operation zone on a humanitarian mission.

This group will include Italian citizens: Massimo Bonfatti - president of the organization, Gianni Nocchi, Laura Viviani, Lorenzo Del Pace. Representatives of the association “Italy. Ukraine. Maidan" Natalia Dyachenko and Emilia Romagna," the statement says.
