Corriere della Sera has refused to publish the Russian foreign minister\u2019s remarks, claiming they are \u201ccontroversial\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The liberal Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera has refused to publish an interview with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, citing what it called “controversial claims”<\/em> in his remarks.<\/p>\n

Its editors refused to print an abridged version of the interview, nor did they post the full text online, the Russian Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday, describing the incident as “outrageous censorship.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The ministry offered the outlet an exclusive interview with Lavrov after noticing “a growing amount of misinformation about Russia in Italian media,”<\/em> according to the statement.<\/p>\n

The newspaper’s editors initially “enthusiastically agreed”<\/em> and submitted a list of questions. Lavrov promptly answered all of them, providing detailed responses, and the text was ready for publication. However, after receiving the material, the newspaper declined to publish the interview.<\/p>\n

“They ‘explained’ to us that Lavrov’s words ‘contain many controversial assertions that require fact-checking or additional clarification, the publication of which would lead to exceeding reasonable volumes,’”<\/em> the ministry said.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the matter, the outlet stated that the Russian Foreign Ministry had provided a “lengthy text full of… propagandistic claims”<\/em> in response to its questions.<\/p>\n

The media outlet relayed that when it requested a “proper interview”<\/em> involving “cross-examination”<\/em> to “challenge points,”<\/em> the Russian side “categorically refused.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The Foreign Ministry released both the full and edited versions of the interview, claiming that the editorial team had removed “all uncomfortable points for official Rome.”<\/em><\/p>\n

In the published transcript, Lavrov also commented on the aborted meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Donald Trump in Budapest, suggesting that Trump had received “behind-the-scenes reports”<\/em> that led him to cancel the talks.<\/p>\n

Lavrov rejected accusations that Russia is “not ready for negotiations,”<\/em> asserting that after the Anchorage summit, Moscow had been waiting for a response from Washington on a proposed peace settlement.<\/p>\n

In the interview, Lavrov reiterated that the goal of Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine was not the capture of territory but the “protection of the population and ensuring Russia’s security.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Russia seeks a “neutral and non-aligned status”<\/em> for Ukraine, he said, and accused the West of waging a “proxy war”<\/em> against Moscow.<\/p>\n

Addressing relations with Italy, Lavrov said that it is not the people who are “unfriendly,”<\/em> but rather the government. He stated that Moscow is open to restoring dialogue, but only if Italy shows a willingness to engage in “mutual respect.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
