Meloni: Russia’s Threat to Europe is Bigger Than Expected

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has raised alarms about Russia’s growing threat to Europe, warning that the danger goes beyond what many believe. In her statement, Meloni pointed out that the EU’s security risks will persist even after the Ukraine conflict ends.

“This involves our democracy, public opinion, Africa, raw materials, and the manipulation of migration,” Meloni said, stressing that Russia could use illegal immigration as a tool to destabilize the EU.

She urged the European Union to take stronger action to secure its borders and prevent Russia or any “criminal organization” from controlling migration flows.

Several EU countries, including Finland and Estonia, have accused Russia of facilitating illegal immigration from the Middle East and other regions into Europe, further complicating border security.

Meloni’s comments highlight the need for a comprehensive strategy to protect the EU from a variety of external threats. Her call for unified action underscores the growing concerns about the EU’s stability in the face of these multifaceted challenges.

The Prime Minister’s warning serves as a reminder that Europe must address not only military threats but also broader security risks to safeguard its future.
