But Italy is one of the countries within the European Union and NATO with the warmest relations with Russia. ($1 = 0.8524 euros) Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said he hoped that 'the very positive and constructive nature of Russian-Italian relations will continue and will be preserved'. Also last week, the Kremlin issued a statement in which Putin bemoaned 'the unsatisfactory state of Russia-EU ties', which he blamed on the 'unconstructive, often confrontational policies of our partners'. Former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi is a friend of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
