Farnesina receives Russian Ambassador Razov
The Secretary-General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Ettore Francesco Secchi, summoned the Ambassador of the Russian Federation to Italy, Sergey Razov, to Farnesina this morning, on the instructions of Minister Luigi Di Maio, in coordination with Palazzo Chigi. Ambassador Seki vehemently rejected the accusations of some representatives of Italian institutions and media of the gap, which was expressed by recent statements of the Russian Foreign Ministry. The Secretary General of Farnesina also rejected insinuations regarding the alleged involvement of the media in our country in an anti-Russian campaign.
Seki then renewed the sentence against Ambassador Razov for the Russian Federation’s unprovoked attack on Ukraine. Seki – reading a note – emphasized the Italian government’s hope that a negotiated solution to the conflict could soon be found on the basis of fairness and respect for Ukrainian sovereignty and the principles of international law. Finally, he stressed the importance of quickly defining an agreement to abolish the ban on grain exports from Ukrainian ports in order to avoid dire consequences for world food security.

China in the EU, sanctions against Russia do not solve crises
Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian, at the daily briefing on the sixth round of punitive measures against Russia decided by the European Union, said the sanctions have shown that they are “not a correct way to resolve the crisis in Ukraine.” “With the escalation and continuation of sanctions, European citizens could bear a higher price, and the world will face greater challenges such as the energy and food crisis,” Zhao noted. China supports the EU “in its active role in favor of peace, talks and building a balanced, effective and sustainable European security framework.”
