Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sibyha expressed full solidarity with Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani after pro‑Russian hackers leaked Tajani’s personal data on the dark web and threatened his family. The diplomat said that Ukraine has many years of practical experience countering such threats and is ready to share it with partners. He also supported Tajani’s initiative to discuss cyberthreats with G7 colleagues at the upcoming meeting in Paris, which he himself plans to attend.
Sibyha wrote about his position on the social network X. He emphasized that cyberthreats and malicious attacks know no borders and require a strong, coordinated response.
"Together we are stronger in protecting Europe, strengthening the resilience of our societies, and securing critical infrastructure and sensitive data," wrote Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sibyha.
Sibyha thanked Tajani, the Italian government, and the Italian people for their steadfast support and solidarity with Ukraine. He added that those who try to intimidate Ukrainians only strengthen the resolve to stand together.
"Those who try to intimidate us will only strengthen our determination to stick together," Sibyha said.
Tajani linked the attack to support for Ukraine
Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said that cybercriminals spent several days distributing his personal data on the dark web and tried to obtain additional information about him and members of his family in exchange for money. He directly linked the harassment to Italy’s political stance on Russia’s war against Ukraine and said he would not be intimidated and would continue to deepen cooperation with allies. Tajani called on his French colleague Jean‑Noël Barrot to include the topic of hybrid threats on the agenda of the Group of Seven ministers’ meeting in Paris 9-10 November 2026.
