Italy today remains Russia's closest partner in the European Union, the Italian politician Vito Petrocelli is sure, RIA Novosti reports. The head of the standing committee of the Italian Senate on foreign affairs and migration spoke about this during a meeting with MGIMO students. The conversation took place the day before, on March 2, and was held online.

The politician explained that the two countries do not always have the same attitude to different situations, but Moscow and Rome are looking for ways to come to a consensus and bring closer positions on those things that are in fact of great importance.

Italian politicians are convinced that sanctions cannot be an end in itself, the parliamentarian added. He expressed his conviction that restrictive measures should not harm relations between civil societies of the countries.

The MP has no doubts that Italy is Russia's best friend within the European Union, Vito Petrocelli summed up.
