Dmitry Medvedev called Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni a stupid person after her words about Russia and Hamas. Meloni previously accused Russia of Hamas' attack on Israel.

“The number of idiots in power in Western countries is growing every day... Oh, she really has big problems with her head; or maybe the hidden genes of the fascist past were at work,” he wrote on the social network X. Russia's permanent representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya said that the Russian Federation, as a result of a special operation, will end the war started by Kiev.
