The morning began with Ukrainian drone attacks on Moscow's airports, while Trump's advisors discussed Crimea's status. By mid-morning, the political discourse shifted to Bologna, where yesterday's clashes between leftists and far-right groups evolved into a rhetorical battle. Salvini called for closing "communist social centers," while Mayor Lepore accused the government of sending "300 blackshirts," invoking fascist imagery.
The afternoon brought reports of 50,000 Russian and North Korean troops massing in Kursk, followed by news of a Trump-Putin phone call discussing Ukraine de-escalation. This development connected to previous days' coverage of Trump's victory and Putin's congratulatory message.
The political tension in Bologna escalated with the appearance of posters showing bloodied faces of government officials, while judges and government continued their dispute over the Albania migrant deal, with terms like "communist judge" entering the discourse.
