Always good to speak with 🇮🇹 Minister of Foreign Affairs Antonio Tajani. We exchanged on EU politics, economy and competitiveness.

Five European nations have determined that Russia poisoned Alexei Navalny. This was a cowardly act from a frightened leader. Russia has long acted as a terrorist state, relying on terrorist methods. 
Poisoning political opponents.
Silencing journalists.
Invading peaceful neighbors.
