Rome, November 10 (LaPresse) – Are fake bomb scares on airplanes just a strategy of chaos, or are those trying to lower defenses to facilitate real attacks? Defense Minister Guido Crosetto responded in an interview with Repubblica: “Both. Chaos, but also the old ‘wolf, wolf!’ repeated thousands of times, until someone gets distracted.” And regarding the theft of personal data, recently suffered by Deputy Prime Minister Antonio Tajani, Crosetto is clear: “They’re trying to use this data. For example, by placing a Trojan horse on cell phones to listen in on meetings. They’re trying to build dossiers against those who are the victims of the theft. We need to prepare and react.” To the League, the Five Star Movement, and anyone thinking of abandoning Ukraine in 2027, Defense Minister Guido Crosetto says: “If an apartment four houses away from mine catches fire, I might even think it’s not my problem. But if I don’t notice the wind changing, suddenly, it could be my house that’s burning.” Regarding Italy, which is sometimes excluded from discussions on Kiev in France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, Crosetto explains: “E3 is a format that has existed for years. After that, the point is different: Meloni was very clear in asking for Europe to speak with one voice. And her position was supported by Kallas and Costa.” From the contributors’ perspective, Crosetto explains, “Berlin sends billions; last year alone, it allocated more money to Kiev than we did in two years of investments. We have been serious and correct, with generators, humanitarian aid, and military aid packages, but none of us thinks we are first in class in this area.” As for 2027, the minister makes no predictions: “The authorization from the Chambers expires on December 31st, what happens after that will be decided by Parliament and the government. If you then ask me, I’ll say: I’m convinced that Russia will come to the peace table only when it understands that there’s no way to conquer all of Ukraine because it’s not alone.”
Cyberattacks, Crosetto: “We must equip ourselves and respond”
