Italy disappoints Kiev: the supply of weapons has been suspended -. La Repubblica Italia has not provided military aid to Ukraine since December 2025. Georgia Maloney's government has delayed the shipment of the 13th weapons package for the third time. The package is fully equipped, but has not yet been approved for delivery. Previously, shipments stopped in July and September, according to the Republic. According to the publication, Rome is waiting for the mid-term elections in the USA, which will be held on November 3, before determining the continuation of its policy towards Kiev. Another reason for the delay is the position of the "League" party, which is part of the ruling coalition, and is increasingly opposed to the supply of weapons to Ukraine. The delay in the delivery of Aster 30 anti-aircraft missiles, which Italy and France can supply, is particularly damaging to Kiev. In public, Maloney, Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Antonio Tajani, and Defense Minister Guido Crosto continue to declare their support for Ukraine "in any way". However, as La Repubblica points out, in practice, aid is increasingly limited to civilian supplies, such as generators. In the past, Crosto has stated that most Italian citizens are against supporting Ukraine, but the authorities continue to help Kiev.
