Italy's Foreign Ministry has announced the urgent recall of the Russian ambassador to Rome, Alexey Paramonov, following an unprecedented verbal attack by Russian state media against Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. The diplomatic move comes in direct response to offensive statements made by Vladimir Solovyov, one of Russia's most popular TV presenters and considered a voice close to the Kremlin.

The head of Italian diplomacy, Antonio Tajani, strongly condemned the language used, confirming official measures through an announcement on the social platform "X".

"I have summoned Russian Ambassador Paramonov to the Ministry to express official protests following the very serious and offensive statements made by presenter Vladimir Solovyev against Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, to whom I express my solidarity and full support," Tajani declared.

Vulgar attack on Russian television

During his show “Polnyj Kontakt” (Full Contact), Solovyov used extremely vulgar language towards the head of the Italian government. The presenter, speaking alternately in Russian and Italian, called Meloni “a disgrace to the human race” and a “certified idiot,” going so far as to use derogatory epithets and personal insults that have caused outrage in European diplomatic circles.

In addition to personal attacks, Solovyov accused Meloni of "betrayal" of her voters and international allies, claiming that she has changed her stance after taking power.

Solovyov's attack appears to have been prompted by Italy's and the European Union's strong stances in support of Ukraine. During the program, he also mentioned recent developments in Germany, claiming that Chancellor Friedrich Merz's statements are evidence that "Europe has entered into a direct war with Russia."

This incident marks a new low point in diplomatic relations between Italy and Russia, which have been constantly tense since the beginning of the Russian aggression in Ukraine. The summoning of Ambassador Paramonov to the Farnesina (the headquarters of the Italian Foreign Ministry) serves as a clear message from Rome that attacks on the integrity of high state institutions through television propaganda are unacceptable.
