Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni was deceived by Russian pranksters who posed as the head of the African Union Commission in a phone call. In the call, Meloni expressed international fatigue with the conflict in Ukraine and criticized the lack of support for Italy in dealing with migration. She stated that there needs to be a way out of the conflict in Ukraine that is acceptable to both sides without violating international law. Meloni also lamented that Italy is expected to solve the migration problem alone while international partners do not do enough to help. The pranksters praised Meloni for sharing her real opinions and criticized other European politicians for behaving like programmed robots.
