Italy Plans New Military Aid Package for Ukraine Amid Domestic Political Divisions
Italy is preparing a new military aid package for Ukraine, potentially including Aster interceptor missiles for the SAMP/T air-defence system, to help counter Russian attacks. The government is authorized to deliver arms shipments until December 31, but extending support through 2027 may face challenges due to divisions within Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's coalition, particularly opposition from Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini's League party. Italy's aid remains lower than that of Germany and Britain.
