Italy hopes that Erdogan will convince Putin to stop war

The Italian Foreign Ministry hopes that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will convince his Russian colleague Vladimir Putin to stop the war in Ukraine. About this, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Italy Benedetto della Vedova told the Russian media.

“If Erdogan can persuade Putin to stop the invasion and withdraw troops, I think this will be a success,” he said.

Della Vedova expects the fact that Putin “uses the opportunity to do the right thing”, stopping the war. “This may be the first step, but you need to watch that at this time new missiles are not launched against civilians,” the deputy minister added.
