Italy's Meloni Says Security Threat Posed by Russia Is Far-reaching

We have to understand the threat is much wider than we imagine,

Meloni, who leads a conservative government, told a press conference when asked about Russia

Tackling the issue of illegal immigration solely as a solidarity-based debate was a mistake,

she said

Security also means critical infrastructure, it means artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, raw materials, supply chains. It means a new and more effective foreign and cooperation policy, it means migration,

she said

Giorgia Meloniitalian Prime Minister

It's about our democracy, it's about influencing our public opinion, it's about what happens in Africa, it's about raw materials, it's about the instrumentalisation of migration. We need to know it's a very wide idea of security,

Meloni said
