Premier Giorgia Meloni on Saturday
said she would meet later in the day with her ministers and
Italy's intelligence chiefs on the reported civil war in Russia
where Wagner mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin has launched a
rebellion and is set to march on Moscow to bring down top brass
for their allegedly bungled management of the war in Ukraine.
"These are events of the last few hours, it's not easy to say
exactly what is happening: I'm also taking the opportunity to
announce to the press that, having finished this appointment
that I didn't want to miss, I have summoned the competent
ministers and the Italian intelligence to get more elements. I
cannot make predictions on how things may go" said Meloni, in
joint statements with Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer, after
their bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the Europa Forum
Wachau, responding to a question on what is happening in Russia.
Italians in the Rostov region have been urged to stay under
shelter while Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani has said there
have been no problems fro them so far.
