Italian PM Meloni Admits “Ukraine Fatigue” to Russian Prank Callers: “We Need a Way Out”

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni was fooled by Russian pranksters into admitting “there is a lot of fatigue” with the war in Ukraine and that “everybody understands that we need a way out.”

Russian radio pranksters Vovan and Lexus, aka Vladimir Kuznetsov and Alexei Stolyarov, released the prank phone call with the Prime Minister of Italy Giorgia Meloni they had conducted Sept, 18. Apparently Stolyarov managed to convince Meloni he was the head of the e African Union Commission, prompting her to speak frankly about Ukraine and foreign policy.

“I see that there is a lot of fatigue, I have to say the truth, from all the sides. We (are) near the moment in which everybody understands that we need a way out,” Meloni said, adding that “The problem is to find a way out which can be acceptable for both without destroying the international law.”

Meloni’s office released a statement acknowledging the call was authentic.

“Post-Fascist” Italian Prime Minister Meloni was greeted with great apprehension by the EU when she was elected 2022, but has since governed pretty much in line with the globalist WEF mainstream. On the eve of Meloni’s election as the first female PM of Italy, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said that “we have tools” to deal with Italy “if things go in a difficult direction,” referring to Meloni (Gateway reported).

Speaking to Vovan and Lexus, Meloni acknowledged the EU was basically leaving Italy alone with the flood of migrant boats, hundreds of which have been arriving on the Italian island of Lampedusa every week all summer. EU leaders “all agree that only Italy has to solve this problem alone. It’s a very stupid way of thinking”, Meloni said.

Speaking to Reuters, Lexus praised Meloni for actually speaking frankly during the prank call, which he said is unusual for European politicians, who usually behave like “programmed robots.”

These “Vovan and Lexus” characters have pranked a lot of famous politicians - George W. Bush, Kissinger, Bernie Sanders, Polish President Duda come to mind, and now Meloni.

I expect they have some help from un-official intelligence sources in Russia.

..and the "Dogs of War" song is as poignant today as if it was written about Ukraine.

the EU thought they could just go on stealing energy from Russia forever

they are surprised Russia pulled the plug on the Globalist Cartels and the puppet Zelensky they planted there.

So sorry world leaders, the USA no longer has a viable military to enforce your racketeering activities

we are "fresh out" of men willing to die "for your freedom" and the aircraft carriers and tanks have become obsolete

I hope that one of the outcomes of this 10-year war (2014-2024, if over by next year) is that modern western weapons of war suck offensively (other than bombing civilians in Donbass), but are pretty darn effective defensively. Therefore even if Putin wanted to set his sights on Poland (which he has no desire to do), he wouldn’t be able to. Therefore we can dispense with the silly Neocon warmongering and get back to improving the lives of ordinary Americans who don’t idolize the latest green t shirt-wearing proxy hero.

No matter how the modern weapons of both sides work or don't work, You're not getting rid of Neocon Warmongers.

exactly, I just wish our leaders would grow up and get real jobs to help produce useful things instead of stoking hate and creating tools of destruction used for looting each other

imagine if we acted like this in our villages, it would be like if my neighbor had a better wife and job then I would just get the neighbors all riled up and we go take his stuff and put it to better use to keep democracy safe and "avoid a humanitarian disaster", in the name of "defending your freedom" at the Community Organization , then accuse that neighbor of attacking us when they try and defend themselves, that is what these endless wars are like
