Among these talks is the meeting between Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo. Due to postponed international agreements, the 3% tax that was supposed to be imposed on digital enterprises with considerable local sales has been delayed since its introduction in 2019. While aiming to increase its budget deficit to 3.3% of GDP to finance stimulus measures, Italy also intends to correct tax inefficiencies. Read More..

A Ukrainian government source claims that on Monday, the Russian state media firm VGTRK was the target of a massive cyberattack that hackers from Ukraine purportedly carried out. The assault caused a "503 Service Unavailable" error and made VGTRKs Rossiya24 news channel and website inaccessible. The unprecedented attack on VGTRKs digital infrastructure was recognised by Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, who also stated that experts were looking into the matter. Given that Thursday was also Russian President Vladimir Putins 72nd birthday, the Ukrainian source speculated that the hackers were attempting to "congratulate" him.

Russian officials presented the event as a component of the Wests "hybrid war." Read More..
