Russia did not help: Italy criticized Russian aid in the fight against coronavirus

Russian aid to Italy turned out to be "absolutely useless or of little use."

Despite the fact that Russia became the first country in the world to respond to an appeal for help from Italy, Rome harshly criticized the Russian military, who brought medical, laboratory and special equipment to Italy, as well as specialists. Italy expressed open categorical discontent, in fact, ridiculed Russia for "absolutely useless or of little use" help.

“Senior political sources said that“ 80% of Russian supplies are absolutely useless or of little use to Italy. In short, this is nothing more than an excuse. Unlike, say, Chinese supplies (consisting mainly of ventilators and masks), Russian supplies were with equipment for bacteriological disinfection of territories, a field laboratory for sterilization and chemical and bacteriological prophylaxis, as well as equipment of this type. Hundreds of experts sent from Moscow are military doctors, and the entire operation is under the jurisdiction of the Russian Ministry of Defense, not the Ministry of Health. These include generals, colonels, lieutenant colonels, and majors who were employed in the past in military operations from Guinea to Africa, in which bacteriological warfare has become one with Russian foreign intelligence operations. Sergei Kikot, Senior General, Head of Mission, is an expert on anthrax. Colonel Gennady Eremin is an expert in bacteriological warfare and has worked in the field of swine plague control "- сообщает Italian edition of La Stampa.

It is noteworthy that, after the first consignments of aid from Russia arrived in Italy, Italy did indeed turn to the United States for help, which can obviously indicate the fact that Rome is really dissatisfied with the actions of Russia.
