PoliticsItaly could resume Russian gas imports after Ukraine conflict ends, deputy PM says
Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini said the country could resume buying Russian gas once the conflict in Ukraine ends. He called for a diplomatic solution through support for negotiations rather than weapons. Salvini said crises in Ukraine and the Middle East, together with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, had driven European fuel prices sharply higher; Italy has spent €3 billion to ease the impact through excise-tax cuts.
