He has claimed that he wants to work for the sake of peace and, not the sake of war. Salvini is sure that the main threat to Europe is the Islamic terrorism, at this, sanctions are imposed against Russia for some reasons. “Are you really afraid of being captured by the Russian army?” the politician asked citizens of Udin, the city located in the north of Italy.
