    Just do not help Britain and the USA. They themselves have created, let them disentangle.

      Yes, from Italy we have never seen anything good in the whole history. They came to us, like occupiers with Napoleon, in the Crimean War, in the Civil War, in the Great Patriotic War. Yes, they even boast that they blew up the battleship Novorossiysk.
      And the Russians in Italy drove Napoleon in 1799, and our sailors in Messina rescued civilians after a terrible earthquake (they were there on a courtesy visit). Here is the alignment.
      Ungrateful, they are not worth a good relationship.

      In terms of conducting a humanitarian bombardment to stop the spread of the disease?

      Well, so, they got in the West for 30 years of democracy ...
      Although 100 years ago, 100 tons of gold from the gold reserves of the Russian Empire were stolen.
      What else to expect from them? The swindler is natural.

    "Combat" experience will not harm our virologists, as well as wish them good luck, because in this struggle, doctors in China had losses ...
    I am glad that Russia, through the actions of its government, does not lose its human face in this situation ...

    Shoigu ordered the formation of an air group to deliver aid to Italy

    - It’s strange, but what does Shoigu have to do with it ??? - He has other things, perhaps, no ... - Or is he from the old memory of his Ministry of Emergencies .. he can’t forget ....
    - And how the Siberian taiga burned and floods covered entire regions ... - so there were no "air groups" ... - Soon everything will happen again ... - spring is in the yard ... - both floods and floods, and all the rest ... - is about to begin ... - So it would be better to prepare "groupings" in advance. in order to prevent these disasters ... - And Italy will manage without our help ... - And all this medical and drug potential can be useful to the population of Russia at any time ... - you never know what else can happen ... - and in Russia there are sick ... - And then where to get everything you need .. ???
    - China somehow on the drum ...- what and where is happening ... - sent a one-time humanitarian aid ...- and the end is ...

    Shoigu ordered ...

    Some kind of amateur performance, where the decision of all sorts of councils and legislative bodies is there. At whose expense is the banquet?
    The Italians hit the tail, but there the process goes.

    Why isn’t any help flying to Serbia?
    Why not help those who can still avoid common diseases?
