Of these, 34 are stranded in besieged cities, including Mariupol, Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio said in the evening. «We have already saved two hundred – the head of the Farnesina specified -, for the 34 who are still trapped we work every day to take them out. But if the evacuation cannot take place safely, we prefer to tell them to wait. “

The situation in Ukraine

Previously it was ambassador Pier Francesco Zazo, interviewed by Fabio Fazio on Rai 3 in connection from Lviv, to talk about his compatriots who remained in Ukraine. “Many of them want to stay because they have their lives here, with wives and children. But some are unfortunately trapped, unable to leave the country ». “The fact that the Italian embassy is still present in Ukraine represents an important aspect, appreciated by the Ukrainian government, but also a psychological support for the Italians present”, explained Zazo. Among the G7 countries, the diplomat stressed, only Italy and France have maintained the embassy in Ukraine, moving it from Kiev to Lviv, in the west of the country. The majority of the others have instead repositioned themselves in neighboring Poland. «The bombings – said the ambassador – did not reach Lviv. Let’s hope that the military escalation does not arrive here as well. There is a lot of trepidation because the Russians have surrounded the big cities. Life in Lviv goes on in an almost normal way, but you feel the tension ».

As for the military situation on the ground, there is no doubt that Russia is “superior”, but that does not mean that it will be able to take political control of Ukraine. «He will be able to arrive with tanks in the center of Ukrainian cities – observed Zazo – but then he will not be able to install a pro-Russian puppet regime. Even in the cities already conquered there is a popular uprising. There is strong popular support for President Zelensky, a struggle for freedom is underway “and” there is the risk of an urban guerrilla warfare, which could become a partisan struggle in the future “, in the analysis of the Italian diplomat. Finally, on the risks that the Russian intervention in Ukraine could lead to a large-scale conflict, the ambassador expressed some concerns, especially relating to the intentions of the Russian president: “Putin – he said – will never be able to accept the humiliation of a military defeat. Russian pride is largely based on military might. I don’t believe in a world war because NATO doesn’t want it, but the moment is dangerous ».
