In mid-October 2024, it became known about a sharp reduction in trade between Italy and Russia. Russian Ambassador to Italy Aleksei Paramonov said the following:
| I must admit that Russia did not expect from Italy such a hasty, and most importantly, absolutely self-destructive rejection of the status of a privileged economic partner. Moscow Some jealous allies of Italy have been working hard to upset or destroy the Russian-Italian economic idyll. Not by washing, so rolling this goal has been achieved. We trade less and less, mutual trade fell almost five times, to a modest $7-8 billion, expected by the end of 2024. |
