Italy does not recognise Russia's
annexation of Crimea, Foreign Minister Enzo Moavero Milanesi
said Wednesday.
Moavero was answering a question from leftwing MP Laura
Boldrini on Interior Minister and rightwing League leader Matteo
Salvini's recent defence of the legitimacy of the controversial
referendum on the annexation.
"The government respects the rules of international law,"
said Moavero of the annexation which, along with intervention in
eastern Ukraine, is behind Western sanctions on Moscow.
