Berlusconi's audio recording is released: Ukraine itself is to blame for
Putin and Berlusconi

The Italian media have published an audio recording of former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and his statements have shocked Italian politics quite a bit.

Berlusconi is heard acting as the lawyer of the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, and explains that the war in Ukraine started because of its leader, Volodymyr Zelensky.

The interception is part of the same speech where Berlusconi revealed his invaluable friendship with Putin and that he had exchanged "very sweet letters" and bottles of alcohol with him.

According to Berlusconi, the Ukrainian president is to blame for the war there.

"Do you know how it happened in Russia? Please be very reserved about this as well. promise? (…) This is how it went: In 2014 in Minsk, Belarus, the agreement between Ukraine and the two newly formed republics of Donbass is signed for a peace agreement where no one attacks the other. Ukraine throws this treaty to hell a year later and starts attacking the borders of the two republics in the east. . Both republics suffer casualties in the ranks of the military, who tell me 5-6-7 thousand dead". "As soon as Zelensky arrived in the direction of Ukraine, the attacks on the two republics tripled, which sent a delegation to Moscow and finally managed to talk to Putin.

They say: 'Vladimir, we don't know what to do, you protect us'. He is against every initiative, he resists, he is subjected to strong pressure from everyone on Russia. Then comes the special operation: the troops had to enter Ukraine, within a week reach Kiev, overthrow the government in office, Zelensky, etc., and install a government already elected by the Ukrainian minority of good and reasonable people. He entered Ukraine and faced an unexpected situation of resistance from the Ukrainians, who started receiving money and weapons from the West from the third day. And the war, instead of being a two-week operation, it became a war. So this is the situation of the war in Ukraine", he is heard to have said. "I don't see how Putin and Zelensky can come together at a mediation table. Because there is no possible way.

Immediately after came the applause. This part of the speech recalls the sentence uttered at the end of the electoral campaign by Berlusconi:

"Putin only had to replace Zelensky's government with a government of honest people," a sentence he later tried to justify with "I was referring to the words of others."

In the same audio file, Berlusconi attacks the leaders of Europe and the US.

"What is another danger, another danger that we all have: today, unfortunately, there are no leaders in the Western world, there are none in Europe and the United States of America. I don't tell you the things I know, but there are no real leaders. Can I make you smile? The only real leader is me... ".

In the final passage, Berlusconi calls for a "strong intervention": After the audio was broadcast, Berlusconi directly called Enrico Mentana, the news director of La7.

"It was Silvio Berlusconi, Mentana said in the studio - as you guessed it, and he asked us to summarize what I was going to say, trying to be as faithful as possible. The recorded words should be framed in a more general discourse, which according to Berlusconi is the story of a general concern about the climate that has been created in the relations between Russia, Europe and the West, with the government.
