Ukraine, Bentivogli (Italy base): “in the shelter in Kiev but everything solved”

The sirens that sounded in Kiev, very frequent in the Ukrainian capital, pushed over 60 Italians to take shelter in an air-raid shelter last night – including politicians such as MEP dem Majorino, journalists and the MEAN coordinator, Angelo Moretti – arrived in the Ukrainian capital to meet local institutions and activists. He explains it to Adnkronos Marco Bentivogli of Base Italia, who is part of the delegation and who underlines that there have been no problems whatsoever. “We have simply experienced what Ukrainians have been experiencing for almost 5 months”, says the former secretary of metalworkers, specifying that “at bedtime some of us heard the sirens and received notification from the Ukrainian government app that invites us to go to the shelters in case of air and missile alarms. We were there for two hours, after which the cease-fire arrived and we went to sleep “. Who looks at this” absurd and ignoble “war unleashed from Italy with” laziness and detachment ” from Putin, adds Bentivogli, “he should understand that this is normalcy. And it is yet another proof – he continues – of the lightness with which we too often talk about the war 3 thousand km away in our country”. today that the Italian delegation is planning with the mayor of Kiev, the apostolic nuncio and about seventy Ukrainian activists belonging to many associations. “It is a useful comparison because we think it is necessary to recover the thought of Alex Langer – he concludes – The basic idea is that peace becomes a process that becomes irreversible if it is not delegated to anyone and if the population is involved”.
