The Italian government plans to approve the 10th package of military assistance to Ukraine by the end of the month. Details of the package are classified, as are the previous nine, which included SAMP/T air defense systems.
The Italian government is preparing the 10th package of military assistance for Ukraine, but it is not yet known what will be included in it, because the previous packages were classified. This is reported by the publication Reuters, reports UNN.
"The government is likely to approve the 10th package by the end of this month, but declined to provide details," the sources said.
The source also noted that the previous packages were classified. Italy, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, approved nine aid packages for Ukraine, including two Franco-Italian air defense systems known as SAMP/T.
Meloni has been a supporter of Kiev since taking office in late 2022 and has pledged to support Ukraine until the end of the war, amid uncertainty about future U.S. attitudes after President - elect Donald Trump takes office in January.
