“I think that Berlusconi’s house was never bombed with rockets, tanks never drove up to him, no one killed his relatives,” Zelensky was quoted as saying by ANSA.
The former Italian prime minister was born in Milan in 1936.
According to RIA Novosti, Milan in August 1943 was heavily bombed by allied aircraft, mainly the British Air Force.
Then up to 2 thousand inhabitants of the city died, 14 thousand buildings were destroyed.
About 300 thousand more people were forced to move outside the city.
One of these families was the Berlusconi family.
“I will never forget how the Allies bombed Milan in 1943.
I was six and a half years old, ”said the Italian politician in an interview.
Earlier, Berlusconi expressed the opinion that Zelensky needed to “stop attacking the two autonomous republics of Donbass” in order to avoid conflict.
The former Italian prime minister stressed that he "negatively evaluates" the behavior of the Ukrainian leader.
