Clashes break out in Italy as far-right, left-wing groups hold rallies

Clashes broke out Sunday in Italy after far-right and left-wing activists held separate rallies against the Russia-Ukraine war.

A group of about 300 far-right and pro-Russian activists gathered in Piazzale Cadorna in the center of Milan to protest against sending weapons to Ukraine and the expansion of anti-Russian sanctions.

 Marching with torches and Italian flags, they carried banners saying "We are united against the war" and "No to hostility to Russia."

 Meanwhile, more than 500 left-wing demonstrators gathered in Largo Cairoli Square to protest against the ongoing Ukraine war and EU, NATO "fascism."
