Moscow furious over Italy’s ‘Third Reich’ comparison

Russia reacted strongly to Italian President Sergio Mattarella's comparison of its actions in Ukraine to those of Nazi Germany, labeling the comments as outrageous and historically false.
Maria Zakharova, spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry, condemned Mattarella's comments as 'blasphemous fabrications' that offend Italy and stated that there would be consequences for his remarks.
Italian political leaders, including Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, united in defense of Mattarella, labeling Moscow's remarks as offensive to the Italian nation.
Defense Minister Guido Crosetto dismissed Zakharova's comments as unworthy of serious consideration, downplaying the controversy by saying they do not represent Russia's official stance.
