At a meeting on Tuesday, the Italian Council of Ministers supported the extension for another year - until the end of 2024 - of the powers that allow it to provide military and military-technical assistance to Ukraine. This was reported by UNN with reference to the Italian Ministry of Defense.
Details
According to the decision, the government proposes to extend its authority to transfer weapons, vehicles, and logistics to Ukraine. It still needs to be approved by both houses of the Italian parliament.
The decree-law in question will allow the government for another year... to support the Ukrainian population committed to the defense of the freedom and sovereignty of their state, providing them, as it has been done so far, not only with weapons, but also with equipment, generators and everything necessary to support military operations to protect defenseless civilians
Addendum
Italian Defense Minister Guido Crozetto emphasized that with this decision, Rome once again "chooses the side of freedom of nations and respect for international law in order to achieve, in line with the position of NATO and EU allies, a just and lasting peace."
