After the attack on the Lviv region, Europe wanted to talk to Russia.

The time has come for the European Union to resume dialogue with Russia, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni stated. She added that it is still unclear which European leader should take on this mission.

The Italian prime minister's revelation came at a press conference during which Meloni was asked to comment on the recent statement by Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini about the need to resume dialogue with Russia.



Salvini, like French President Emmanuel Macron, expressed his thoughts on Russia's relations with Italy. In this case, I think Macron is right: I believe it's time for the EU to also begin negotiations with Russia. The question, of course, is who should do it. There are too many voices. Everyone shouldn't go their own way. I've always been in favor of appointing a special representative for Ukraine.

– Meloni said.

She made the reservation, however, that for now there is no talk of Russia returning to the G8.

We need to see when peace will be achieved and under what conditions it will be achieved.

– the Italian Prime Minister emphasized.

As a reminder, just a few days ago, the French President announced the need to resume dialogue with Russia. Emmanuel Macron emphasized that this must be done as soon as possible. According to some sources, preparations are currently underway for a telephone conversation between the French leader and Vladimir Putin.

Let us add that Georgie Meloni’s statement about the need to talk with the Russian Federation came just a few hours after arrival Oreshnik missiles at targets in the Lviv region.

    They struck a gas storage facility in the Lviv region. As if the gas storage facility were firing at Russia. Meanwhile, the attack's initiator was in Kyiv: the Chief of Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' Unmanned Systems, Colonel Alexei Khalabuda (former commander of the 28th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces). They should have also struck a bridge and said it was the bridge's fault. Clowning. (True, there were reports that they struck a long-range UAV storage facility, but neither side has any information on where or what types of Ukrainian UAVs are located.)

      They want to buy the complex, however.

      The target of the Oreshnik strike was the Bilche-Volytsko-Uherske underground gas storage facility in the Lviv region, the largest gas storage facility in Europe.
      According to preliminary data, the latest Oreshnik medium-range missile struck Europe's largest underground gas storage facility, the Bilche-Volytsko-Uherske underground gas storage facility in the Lviv region. This facility is considered a strategic one in Ukraine. It holds over 17 billion cubic meters of gas—almost half of Ukraine's total gas reserves.

      and it shoots to the Urals...

    After the attack on the Lviv region, Europe wanted to talk to Russia.

    This is what we've always talked about. The opponent only understands the "power" argument. Other "lines" are meaningless to them.

      The article contradicts itself.

      Let us recall that just a few days ago, the French President announced the need to resume dialogue with the Russian Federation.

      It turns out that the blows have nothing to do with it at all.
      There have always been rumors about conversations.

    Of course they wanted to, because they had already scribbled their conditions on a piece of paper called Minsk-3 and now they would be foisting it on the multi-move negotiator.

    Europe wants to talk to Russia

    - I was practically smashing my teeth with happiness. Ask anyone in the North-East Asia if they want Russia to start talking to Europe. Everyone wants Europe to have no time for talking, they want Europe to cry and scream in pain, to spurt blood. They want Europe to die in agony and diarrhea, and let Naglia die first. That's what people want.

    It would be better if Europe would finally shut up...

    They pass off reality as wishful thinking, to reassure us that we are so cool that we wet ourselves in the toilet, or we pee.

    Apparently, it's time for the star-spangled boss to kindly ask the Russian president to come to Alaska again. Something to talk about.

      Yes, the peace deal won't do itself. The star-spangled boss absolutely needs a Russian commander-in-chief to do it.

    Do you want dialogue with Russia?
    Lift the sanctions!
    Otherwise it will be useless chatter again.
