“It is a general issue, it is an issue that concerns the entire European Union, but it cannot be ruled out that there may be attempts to influence the elections in the countries where voting takes place. I am convinced that it could happen, which is why we need to intervene in advance.” The alarm about possible Moscow interference in the Italian vote in 2027 was raised by the Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani upon arriving at the Gymnich.
“The Financial Times can write whatever it wants. You always have to prove what you say. I hope this is absolutely false,” added the head of the Farnesina regarding the article from the London city newspaper that labels Roberto Vannacci as “a Trojan horse of Russia.”
All this happens just hours after the Leipzig incident, with the explosion of a drone at the airport that Berlin attributes directly to Moscow. According to Tajani, Russia’s goal is “above all to divide Europe, just as one of its objectives is to influence elections in European countries. This attempt must be absolutely rejected. This is the kind of attack the Russians carry out and we must be united and prevent Moscow from dividing Europe.”

“We are not at war with Russia, nor should we even think there could be a military attack,” the Italian minister clarified. “The things that happened in Germany are extremely serious, but I do not believe that in Russia, beyond provocations, beyond these hybrid attacks, they could do something against Europe. However, we must always be vigilant, not underestimate the risks. But we know well that Russia assesses the strength of the West. I do not think it is in Moscow’s interest to attack the West, because it would come out defeated. So from this point of view, I believe we can be moderately optimistic. However, we must repel all these hybrid attacks, these provocations, make Moscow understand that we are united.”
