WATCH: Russia's notorious pranksters fool Italy's PM Giorgia Melony in 13-minute call

In a phone conversation with Russian practical jokers, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni talked about the situation in Ukraine and the lack of help for Italy in handling migration. Reputable Russians Vovan and Lexus, who have previously played practical jokes on other leaders, posted a 13-minute conversation from September online on Wednesday.

In a statement, Meloni’s office expressed remorse that she had fallen for a phony pretending to be the head of the African Union Commission. According to the report, the call was made on September 18 before of scheduled discussions with African leaders at the UN General Assembly. Speaking in English to the jokers, Meloni responded to a question concerning Russia’s conflict in Ukraine by saying, “I see that there is a lot of fatigue, I have to say the truth, from all the sides.” We’re getting close to the point where everyone realizes we need a way out. “The challenge lies in identifying a solution that satisfies both parties while maintaining international law,” she continued. Speaking on Italy’s role as a first stop for a large number of migrants traveling over the Mediterranean, Meloni bemoaned the lack of assistance from foreign allies. “They do all concur that Italy must handle this issue on its own. It’s a really foolish way of thinking,” she said. Alexei Stolyarov, a prankster, claimed Meloni was at least open to expressing her true feelings. “Unfortunately, in contrast to her, a lot of European politicians act like programmed robots and only voice opinions within their own circles,” he said in a statement to Reuters. He explained that Vovan was listening in on the call with Meloni while he was doing the talking. Meloni, the one-time prime minister of Italy, broke up with her TV host partner last month after it was revealed that he used derogatory language and seemed to be making moves toward a female coworker in off-air video clips from his show. Following a missile explosion in Poland in November of last year, the comedic team fooled the country’s leader into believing he was having a secure phone connection with the president of France. Following the explosion, Duda had been on the phone with a number of foreign leaders, including the phony President Macron. The peculiar behavior of the phone call, according to Duda, made it clear that the person on the other end of the line was not his French counterpart. For the second time, the office stated that relevant services are investigating how the practical jokers could have gotten in touch with Duda. 2020 saw them speak with him under the guise of the UN secretary-general. The pair also fooled the head of the US central bank in April by pretending to be Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine. The two self-styled entertainers are well-known for being followers of Russian autocrat Vladimir Putin, and the film was shown on Russian official television. (with input from agencies)
