Berlusconi’s birthday, Putin and 20 bottles of vodka

“We are already at war because we are providing money and weapons to Ukraine. I can’t say my opinion because if it gets to the press it will be a disaster,” said Cavaliere

The Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera published on its website a recording of the news agency Lapresse, in which the Silvio Berlusconi talks to MPs from his party, Forza Italia, and refers to a rewarming of his relations with Vladimir Putin.

In more detail, in the recording Cavaliere can be heard saying: “We are already at war because we are providing money and weapons to Ukraine. I can’t say what I think, because if it gets to the press it will be a disaster, but I’m very worried. I restored relations with President Putin: for my birthday, he wanted to send me 20 bottles of vodka along with a sweet letter. I answered him with bottles of Lambrusco wine and an equally sweet letter”.

Silvio Berlusconi celebrated his 86th birthday on September 29. These statements by him — which the Forza Italia party earlier described as a “fact of the past” — according to political analysts, may create new problems for the formation of the new government by Giorgia Meloni.
