ROME: Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said on Saturday he was being targeted by “cybercriminals” who were sharing his personal data online because of Italy’s support for Ukraine.

“Our position on Ukraine is the political reason why I am being targeted: defending the freedom of a sovereign state, taking a clear stand in favor of democracy and the independence of a nation,” Tajani said.
“I will not allow myself to be intimidated under any circumstances.”
The Italian government has provided humanitarian and military support to Kyiv as it fights off Russia’s invasion.
