And the governor of Emilia Romagna, Stefano Bonaccini, added: "Beyond the nuances, I share everything that Italy and the Draghi government have done to date. If Putin wanted to divide Europe and the alliance Atlantic not only did not make it, but I believe it has strengthened it, for the most part. Now, however, we need 'more' diplomatic initiative to try to reach peace ".
