G7 Foreign Affairs today in Paris, at the center of the summit are Ukraine, Iran and hacker attacks

The meeting coincides with talks between Moscow and Kiev

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also participates in this G7 meeting for both days, unlike March, when he was only present for one. It is his first mission abroad after the midterm vote. The meeting had been scheduled for some time in Marseille, but at the last minute it was moved to Paris due to scheduling problems. The meeting also coincides with US-mediated talks between Moscow and Kiev in Abu Dhabi, scheduled for tomorrow and Wednesday, and Europe fears that Ukraine will be forced to accept disadvantageous terms. "The Europeans will be represented and France will be in Abu Dhabi to participate in these talks," French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot told RTL. Meanwhile, Trump has fueled fears of a rapprochement with the Kremlin, predicting a "very important" agreement with Russia that would involve "all of Europe". US envoy Jared Kushner has spoken of "a broader European security architecture that can help create the conditions for lasting peace", a concept previously met with skepticism in Europe. On Iran, however, Trump has not ruled out new attacks, including against the so-called Pickaxe Mountain, a site that Tehran denies is nuclear. The Europeans are instead aiming for a solution to the crisis and a return to normality of traffic in the Strait of Hormuz.

Cyber threats included on the agenda at Tajani's request

Meanwhile, before the summit, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Tajani recalled - in an interview with La Stampa - that Europe is the target of "a dangerous 'hybrid war' campaign" and "it is clear who is agitating this galaxy of cyber-criminals: those who want to change the borders of Europe with violence". "Faced with this scenario - underlines the head of the Farnesina, who himself ended up at the center of an attempted hacker dossier - the G7 must immediately demonstrate the ability to act and react". "For this reason - he explains - I asked my French colleague Jean-Noel Barrot to include the fundamental issue of cyber threats on the agenda of our meeting of G7 Foreign Ministers today and tomorrow in Paris".
