Hybrid attack in Leipzig, Meloni: "Full solidarity with Germany"

"Full solidarity from Italy to Germany after the Russian hybrid attack in Leipzig". Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni stated this on social media.

"The security of our Allies is the security of all of us - he adds in a post written in English -. Attempts to intimidate us or create a rift between the Allies will not succeed: hybrid actions against any of us are an issue that concerns us all, and will be addressed with a united response. In times like this, it is essential to remain steadfast, continue to work closely together and maintain a credible posture of deterrence to defend the security of our citizens".

The deputy prime minister and foreign minister, Antonio Tajani, also intervenes in the case. "Germany can count on Italy's closeness. The things that have happened in Germany are extremely serious but we must not even think that there could be a military attack. I don't think that Russia, beyond provocations, beyond these hybrid attacks, can do anything against Europe", he said arriving at the Gymnich. "We must be vigilant, not underestimate the risks, but we know well that Russia evaluates the strength of the West, I don't think it is convenient for Moscow to attack the West because it would be defeated."
