Meloni's Government Faces Criticism Over Ukraine Aid and Kremlin Ties

Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani summoned Russian Ambassador Alexey Paramonov to protest remarks by a pro-Kremlin host.
Pro-Kremlin presenter Vladimir Solovyov called PM Giorgia Meloni a 'certified idiot' and other derogatory terms.
Opposition leaders condemned the rhetoric, with Elly Schlein calling it 'unacceptable sexist accusations' and Giuseppe Conte calling it 'unspeakable'.
Meloni's government provides military and civilian aid to Ukraine since the invasion.
Her ruling coalition includes the League party with documented close ties to the Kremlin.
