The incident happened on September 18, but the Russian duo Vovan and Lexus published the recording of the conversation this week. Russian state media say so The Guardian go out big. The duo are said to be very pro-Russian.
Called in thirteen minutes
Giorgia Meloni thought she was calling the head of the African Union Commission, but was actually on the phone with the Russian pranksters for thirteen minutes. A spokesperson for the Italian prime minister says she has been ‘misled’.
The Russian duo has often fooled world leaders such as Angela Merkel, Emmanuel Macron and Boris Johnson and celebrities such as Elton John. The British have accused the duo in the past of collaborating with the Kremlin and Russian secret services. The two deny that.
Meloni said on the phone that she is “war-weary,” like many other countries. She says that “the moment is coming when everyone understands that a way out must be found” for the war in Ukraine. The Italian Prime Minister says he is ‘working on this’.
‘Honest conversation’
Comedian Aleksey Stoljarov (Lexus) praises Meloni in a response for her honesty in the telephone conversation. “Unfortunately, many other European politicians behave like programmed robots,” he told Reuters.
The telephone conversation also briefly discussed migration. Meloni said she needs help from African leaders to stop boat migrants trying to reach Europe.
