Italy preparing new military aid package for Ukraine – Reuters
Italy is preparing a new military aid package for Ukraine amid Russia's ongoing invasion of the country.
Two sources close to the matter said the government was likely to approve a 10th package by the end of this month, but declined to provide details, Ukrinform reports, citing Reuters.
Since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Italy has approved nine packages of aid for Ukrainian President Vodymyr Zelensky's administration, including two Franco-Italian air defense systems known as SAMP/T.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgi Meloni has been a supporter of Kyiv since taking office in late 2022 and has vowed to back Ukraine until the war ends, amid uncertainty over the future attitude of the U.S. once president-elect Donald Trump takes office in January.
