Russian Foreign Minister Serghiei
Lavrov told a press conference Monday that "from what I can see
Italy, not without resistance from Brussels, is defending its
right to develop bilateral relations with Russia and it is doing
so in a sincere way, I think," TASS reported.
"I think, on the basis of my contacts with Italian colleagues,
that Italy does not consider sanctions an efficient instrument
to influence Russia, in this case, or any other in general".
