Italy again asked Russia for help in fighting the coronavirus. This was told by Ambassador Sergei Razov in an interview with MIA “Russia today”.
Help requested regions of Piedmont, Apulia and Friuli-Venezia Giulia.
“If the Russian military did not what is required, such requests would not be received,” — said Razov.
He noted that the Embassy receives hundreds of calls and letters in which Russia thank you for your help in the fight against the pandemic.
Italy is waiting for new aid from Russia
In late March, Russia sent several military transport aircraft Il-76 of Air and space forces (VKS) in Italy. They delivered about 100 Russian specialists in the field of Virology and epidemiology, as well as eight medical and nursing teams.
Italy is one of the coronavirus-affected countries. According to the latest data, there are more 181,2 thousand infected. 24,1 thousand people died and more 48,8 thousand recovered.
