AI-generated summary
Why It Matters
The article comes amid heightened tensions in international relations and frequent reports of potential threats from Russia.
Russia's threat of strikes against Spain, Italy and France has not been confirmed. An unusual statement was published by the Italian Minister of Defense Guido Crosetto on his page on the social network X.
This is how he commented on the publication of the Spanish newspaper El Mundo, according to which the CIA warned the authorities of three countries about a possible Russian attack from the Mediterranean Sea.
“The alarming message published today by a Spanish newspaper does not serve anyone's interests and does not find any confirmation. We are already living in difficult and nervous times, and no one will benefit from adding even more fuel to the fire,” the minister said.
