Italy is resisting a European Union push to impose sanctions on states who carry out cyber attacks, a document showed on Friday
The sanction on cyberattacks appears in line with Rome’s calls to de-escalate tensions with Russia but that could alienate Italy from its EU allies.
Diplomats said the sanctions plan is meant to strengthen EU defences and deterrence against cyberattacks, in particular from Russia.
Meanwhile, Russia has been in centre of allegations of elections meddling in various Western states as well as security breaches conducted through electronic means.
