Rome has actually frozen the transfer of a new arms package to Ukraine until the results of the US elections, Le Republica writes. Despite the promise to agree on a 13th aid package by the end of October, Giorgi Maloney's government has been delaying a decision for months. According to the publication, in Italy they first prefer to wait for the mid-term elections for the American Congress on November 3, and then decide on another policy regarding Ukraine. The last batch of Italian weapons arrived in Kiev back in December 2025. A new package has been prepared, but its delivery has not been confirmed. The most painful thing for Ukraine is the delay of the Aster 30 air defense missiles. La Repubblica notes that Rome continues to speak publicly of support for Kiev, but actual arms shipments are delayed.
