		</div><p>The mayor of a Polish town bordering Ukraine has publicly called out the leader of Italy’s right-wing League party for his pro-Kremlin views, calling Matteo Salvini a “friend” of Russian President Vladimir Putin.</p>
<p>Przemysl mayor Wojciech Bakun challenged Mr Salvini during a news conference at the train station in the town where hundreds of thousands of refugees have arrived since Russia launched its war against Ukraine on February 24.</p>
<p>The mayor pulled a T-shirt from his jacket showing Mr Putin’s face and the words “Army of Russia”.</p>
<p>The T-shirt was similar to one Mr Salvini has worn publicly in the past.</p>
<p>Mr Bakun said he wanted to personally escort Mr Salvini wearing the T-shirt to a refugee centre “to see what your friend Putin has done”.</p>
<p>Mr Salvini interrupted Mr Bakun, saying: “We are helping refugees, children, mums, dads, from Ukraine.” He then walked away.</p>
<p>He has praised Mr Putin in the past as “one of the best statesmen”, but has denied taking money from the Kremlin.</p>
<p>Mr Salvini was heckled by some people who called him a “buffoon”.</p>
<p>The number of refugees fleeing Ukraine as the Russian army shells its cities reached two million on Tuesday, with more than half arriving in Poland.</p>
