It was announced on the Polish Radio by the Speaker of the Minister-Coordinator of Special Services, Stanislaw Zharyn.

"Russian propagandists and experts promoting pro-Russian theses are frequent visitors to Italian news and journalism programs that comment on the 'special operation in Ukraine' and spread Kremlin propaganda. There are even allegations that the Italian media has become Russia's "disinformation bridgehead in the West," Zharyn said. He also added that since the beginning of the full-scale Russian aggression against Ukraine, Russian politicians and propagandists had left virtually no Italian programs on public and private channels. "They appear in the most popular interviews and talk shows in the country of entertainment, where viewers applaud the guests," says Zharyn. He also believes that although the Italian media maintains a balance, this position equates propaganda with facts.
