Russia’s President Putin sent aircraft full of medical supplies to Italy when help from Europe and the U.S. was scarce, a move observers say is intended to score points against the West

The images released by the Russian Defense Ministry were unprecedented.

Russian and Italian generals gathered around a map of the Italian peninsula, plotting the route of a Russian convoy. Military vehicles, flying Russian flags and emblazoned with “From Russia with Love” in Italian, Russian and English, were shown driving across Italy to the northern city of Bergamo, one of the hardest hit by the coronavirus pandemic that has killed more than 11,000 Italians.

If it’s anything like the Chinese shit sent to Italy it less than worthless.

It is an aid, somany waiting for that. There is no enemy at this time, only humanity

Those evil Russians always plotting the fall of the west. This time they have the audacity to provide aide during a pandemic!!! Nothing those villains won’t do!

Why haven't we heard about number of cases in Russia?

No matter what purpose he is, at least he is helping you now, and thank you anyway! Instead of doing nothing, but also making unfounded accusations

Putins' BIGGLY' POINT SCORE against the West-WAS when HE helped get trump elected! 'trumPutinism' has ALIENATED ALL of our former allies! FOLLOWING Putins INSTRUCTIONS-trump continues to grab more dictatorial power that has weakened our Democracy!dumptrump

Oh, my god! At least Russia helped the Europeans. Where are the Americans?

Putin can somehow do no right even if is literally charity. While killing people in the name of democracy is considered an utmost form of charity.

He needs a global workforce to prop up his banking

The editor must be hanged till death for such inference. Idiots, he is helping out in fighting death and you are coming up with conspiracy theory.

If the goods were donated to the United States, they would be tested as unqualified products by the United States to sue Russia.

As long as those supplies is in good condition unlike china crappy mask and test kit,scoring point is acceptable

wether it is a score of points against the west or not but it is a great support for Italians in this desperate time, you better ask EU to do something about the situation.

Wtf! Poor Russia! Everything they do or don't is subjected to mockery from the Wild West.

So if Russia and China did something good, they definitely scores points against west. If the west do something good, bravo! good heart! heroes!

2. WHERE IS NATO? USA HAS NOW ALSO CORONA CRISIS.. BUT NATO IS NOT ONLY USA...

Humanity first. You keep ur pessimism at home.

GOOD MOVE .. BECOUSE .. WHAT DO EU TODAY? PUMPING UIT EUROPE MILIONS .. CORONABUSINESS... euronews

GOOD

Doing ANYTHING will 'score points against the West'.

Be careful with the Russians this might just be a plan well planned out from there part to score points against the West. They may also have something to do with the COVID19 creation and only they know how to sustain it. I would keep a real close eye on Russia 👁 🛰

Cuba, China, Russia and Germany sent aid to Italy 🇮🇹 to fight coronavirus. The US sent nothing. We don't have masks and ventilators for our own. But let's bitch how they are doing it to score points against America. pathetic NATO Cc GeorgeSzamuely 🇨🇺 🇷🇺 🇩🇪 🇺🇸 🇨🇳

If the supplies were made in Russia they were probably all defective.

Russia doesnt count points, Russia just helps!

The Russians are the most intelligent and capable people in the world.

What we are seeing, is the shift of global responsibility, away from the west (specifically the US(, and to the east and Russia. A time to be alive.

Wow thank you Lord !

And Italy said almost everything they sent was totally completely useless

Putin is a sly dog...the world better keep an eye on him...he's like the con man on fb who love bombs you then asks for your life savings...

Coronavirus continues to take a high toll in Italy and SpainOver the weekend Spain and Italy death tolls are the largest of the EU countries 🙏🙏 Because there's so much hyperbolic reporting on the coronavirus in the U.S., few people have really paid attention to Italy where the deaths per capita is 20x that of the U.S.. It's been incredibly devastating there. Iran is probably even worse, but we'll never know. I am a Chinese and the Chinese government's behavior is shameful. Now there are many people who have lost their loved ones because of this virus. I am very sorry for this. I have a lot of masks and other medicalsupplies here. If you need them, please contact me.
