Onward without constraints - Rai journo-Russia spokeswoman

(ANSA) - ROME, AUG 19 - Ilario Piagnerelli, a Rai News 24 correspondent in Kyiv accused by the Russian foreign ministry's spokesperson of "praising Ukrainian neo-Nazis while they pose in reportages wearing SS symbols" on Monday replied that "I grew up with a Partisan grandfather, the real kind, who today would have no doubt in distinguishing between invader and invaded, between those who resist and those who occupy. I was educated in the values of the Constitution".
    He said he would continue reporting free from external constraints in his reply to the spokeswoman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Moscow, Maria Zakharova. (ANSA).
