ROMA (ITALPRESS) – Parliamentary authorisation on military aid in Kiev and its regulatory process will expire on 31 December. For the Minister of Defense, Guido Crosetto, interviewed by the Republic, “what happens after they decide Parliament and government”.
According to Crosetto “Russia will arrive at the table of peace only when it will understand that there is no way to conquer all Ukraine because it is not alone”. On the level of diplomatic dynamics and the European constitution, the owner of Defense calls for greater cohesion among member countries, stating that “there is a need for Europe to speak with a single voice” and asking to “indicate a person who speaks on behalf of all”, identifying in Antonio Costa “a good name” for this role. The immediate priority remains the achievement of the “trigua”, defined a real “necessity” in the face of Russian attempts to “explain the Ukrainian people with attacks on civilians and energy infrastructure”.
As for a possible direct comparison to the G20 with the Russian president, Crosetto states that “if we want an agreement, we will have to sit at the table also with Putin”, but emphasizes that “the right day to sit all together is what exists the real will of agreement”.
Commenting on Washington’s decisions and the positioning of American forces in Europe, the minister excludes the hypothesis of a strategic abandonment of Kiev, believing that “no one can afford to sacrifice Kiev to Russia, no less the United States”, a move that would represent Donald Trump “an autogol” on the level of global credibility and stability.
Similarly, while confirming that the Pentagon is “logging on how to move some assets”, Crosetto denies that US troops “can get out of Europe”. Finally, on the side of cybersecurity and cyber risks, Crosetto denies the existence of internal contrasts on cyber security management and proposes the establishment of “a European hybrid war centre”, warning that “if Europe does not move, we will have to do so”.
Illustrating the danger of lethal cyberattacks, the minister cites concrete cases such as “an attack that removes the current in a hospital, risking making victims” or “an Inps attack that does not give you pensions”, conceived with the aim of “culpting to weaken and exhaust a nation.”.
Calling attention to intrusions through trojans and false bomb alarms aimed at creating dossiers or distracting defenses, Crosetto concludes by warning that against these threats “it is necessary to equip and react”.
