The Italian parties unanimously condemn the violence in Ukraine .

"Diplomacy has a chance only if we now isolate Putin and Russia", is the position of the leader of the Democratic Party Enrico Letta, who mentions names and surnames. Adding: "On the Russian war in Ukraine I confess that at this stage I am not interested in the historical debate, which one day will have to be held" but "the invasion is not excusable for any historical reason, it is of an endless gravity".

"The M5S is compact and expresses a single political direction of firm condemnation of the Russian aggression", echoes Giuseppe Conte, calling for a "strong and incisive response" and supporting the work carried out by Draghi. "In the years of my governments - he says - I have always signed to the European Councils the renewal of the sanctions for the violation of the Minsk agreements. President Draghi is rightly pursuing the confrontation at the European level", the sanctions against Russia "must find us compact and resolute, because it is unthinkable to modulate a unitary response by looking at the respective advantages of the various Member States. We will be up to this new challenge only if we remain united and in solidarity within the EU ".

On the front of the center-right Giorgia Meloni, for the second time guest in Florida of the "Conservative Political Action Conference" (CPAC), the largest demonstration of American Republicans inaugurated by Ronald Reagan in 1974, has defined the attack in Moscow as "unacceptable", exhorting everyone to "be united" and "take a stand", knowing "very well that our part is the Western world". "We are on the side of international law, we are on the side of freedom, and ultimately, we are on the side of a proud nation that is teaching the world what it means to fight for freedom," he added. "Nobody gets me out of my head - he underlines, however, launching an attack on American President Joe Biden - that without the scandalous withdrawal of troops from Kabul yesterday, we would never have seen the tragic siege of Kiev today. And, certainly, no one would be preparing to see Taiwan. busy tomorrow. "

For Matteo Salvini, the least overtly anti-Putin, “the priority, for the League and for everyone, is Peace, to return to serenity as soon as possible and save the lives of innocent people attacked and bombed. In addition to all political, economic and diplomatic initiatives, it is essential for believers not to stop praying. It would be nice if today, in conjunction with the words of the Holy Father at the Angelus, everyone gathered in a moment of prayer, thinking above all of the children who are experiencing days of terror, for an immediate Stop to the war and an urgent, vital, unified Yes to peace ".

Silvio Berlusconi, who has always been a friend of Vladimir Putin, also spoke out (without attacking him directly) for a "firm condemnation and concern for the use of violence, which is never a solution".
