More disunity in the European Union is seen with statements by the Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto, who expresses his bewilderment at the apparent readiness to use Western weapons against targets on Russian territory. “It makes me smile a little that representatives of countries that mainly send civilian and non-military aid are talking about this.” He said that such statements will not have a positive impact on the outcome of the conflict, and will not contribute to peace, but will only anger the Russians.
