Marco Setaccioli criticized Marco Travaglio for claiming that resuming purchases of Russian gas would be more advantageous for Europe than for Moscow. According to Setaccioli, sales data contradicted this thesis: since the beginning of the war, European consumption of Russian gas would have fallen from 150 billion cubic meters per year in 2021 to 18 in 2025. Of the 132 billion lost, he wrote, China would only have bought 28 more; moreover, Xi would not have wanted to build the Power of Siberia 2 pipeline. Setaccioli added that Gazprom had laid off hundreds of people and recorded losses for the first time in many years. On the topic of prices, Setaccioli stated that, before Donald Trump's move related to Iran, gas cost 32 euros per MWh, despite Russian supplies being at a minimum. He compared that price to the peak of 180 euros per MWh reached in December 2021, before the start of the war in Ukraine, when the pipelines were still intact and Russian supplies continued. According to Setaccioli, Moscow had reduced reserves and supplies to raise cash ahead of the invasion and to pressure Europe, dissuading it from supporting Kyiv. He attributed European diversification to the choice of not following the positions of Travaglio and Alessandro Di Battista, who, he wrote, had sought to stop the TAP, the pipeline that brings gas from Azerbaijan, evoking environmental damage that Puglia, according to him, was still awaiting. Finally, Setaccioli reported that the day before, the parliamentary group of the vannacciani had presented a resolution to resume purchases of Russian gas. He speculated that the proposal had come following new indications from Moscow. #gasrusso #Gazprom #energia (translated)

Jonathan Targetti wrote that he did not vote for Giorgia Meloni and maintained distance on many issues, but he judged her speech in Parliament on Ukraine and foreign policy positively. He described it as clear in principles and arguments, with no ambiguity about the position that Italy should adopt, and argued that it placed Meloni among the most authoritative leaderships in Europe. He added that the speech had sparked many international reactions. Targetti stated that serious politics required recognizing the merits of opponents, especially when the freedom of Ukraine and the international credibility of Italy were at stake. He asserted that if a line like that of Giuseppe Conte, which he claimed showed deference towards Moscow, had prevailed, Russian military personnel could have moved freely in Italy. He recalled the Russian army convoys that passed through Lombardy in 2020 and urged the Campo Largo to reflect. #Politica #Ucraina #Italia (translated)

The agreement on Russian diesel announced last Friday by President of the United States Donald Trump is a decision that I consider very risky – he said in communications to the Senate in view of the European Council – The spike in fuel prices is mainly due to the war in Iran, not the conflict in Ukraine. Therefore, the outcome of this choice is doubtful, while the risks are clear, namely a legitimization for Moscow while its bombs continue to fall on Ukrainian cities, new revenues to finance the war, an implicit weakening of the sanctions leverage are elements that we cannot ignore and that contradict what has been done so far by Western states, including the United States, to push Putin to come to the negotiation table. #Zelensky #GiorgiaMeloni #RussiaUcraina (translated)

Sergiy Kyslytsya thanked Giorgia Meloni for her speech and stated that the position of the Italian government had not changed, indicating support for Kyiv, attention to the civilian population, pressure on Moscow, and Euro-Atlantic unity as the pillars of action. He wrote that Russia had launched a new autumn campaign against Ukraine and, failing to advance on the front, had intensified attacks against civilians and targets such as power plants, apartment buildings, hospitals, and buses. Among the incidents, he mentioned the massacre in Kramatorsk. According to Kyslytsya, Moscow aimed to bend the Ukrainians with terror, cold, and darkness. He also argued that since the beginning of the year, Russia had gained very little ground and that in September it had lost much of what it had gained in previous months. https://t.co/P0F5z2eCm1 #Ucraina #Russia #Unità (translated)
