Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini believes that the coup in Ukraine in the winter of 2014 is a pseudo-revolution paid out of the world, TASS .
The subject of the change of power in Kiev was tackled by the Italian politician after a question from a Washington Post reporter about "Russia's right to annex the Crimea" and the allegations of a "false referendum", writes the Russian agency.
"Compare (the referendum in Crimea) with the false revolution in Ukraine, which was, in fact, a pseudo-revolution sponsored by foreign countries," Salvini said. "There (in Crimea) a referendum took place, where 90% of people voted for the return of Crimea to the Russian Federation." "There are some historic Russian regions with Russian culture and traditions that are legally owned by the Russian Federation," continued the Italian minister.
Salvini also noted that he announced the lifting of sanctions against Russia because he believed that they "proved useless and … cause losses on Italian exports."
The Italian politician is known for his pro-Russian stance and has always insisted on the repeal of anti-Russian sanctions, and he has repeatedly stated that Russian leader Vladimir Putin is "the first politician", notes TASS
