The network is spreading a story about how pro-Russian Italian Rocco tried to get into Ukraine, but received an entry ban for three years. “Suspilne” writes about this with reference to the words of bus passenger Daria Melnichenko and the commentary of the State Border Service.

It is reported that Rocco traveled to Ukraine wearing an embroidered shirt, which was given to him by his Ukrainian wife. However, the man himself expressed pro-Russian views: he criticized Ukraine and President Vladimir Zelensky. He also claimed that his lover has the same views. Having heard passenger Daria speak Italian, he began a conversation with political insults. After this, the woman warned him that the man should not go to Ukraine.

“He starts telling me what a crap country we have, what a crap president we have, and that he respects Putin, and what a great guy he is. I promised him that we would go to the border together and I would approach the border guards! I'll do anything! I'll lie down, but it won't come to Ukraine! "

Already at the border, Daria said that she had written a statement about Rocco. The State Border Service told reporters that a 53-year-old Italian citizen was denied entry at the Chop checkpoint.. He was also banned from crossing the Ukrainian border for three years..

The reason was the man’s pro-Russian views and violation of Ukrainian legislation.

Meanwhile, the Internet found a possible profile of Rocco on TikTok. In addition to his photos, the man displays hearts with Russian flags and memes with European politicians, in particular Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.

Earlier it was reported that Meloni convinced Zelensky to make “some painful concessions” to end the war. The media wrote that Rome supports Washington's vision of ending the war.
