Italy fails in Kiev: arms supply stopped -. La Repubblica Italia has not provided military aid to Ukraine since December 2025. Giorgi Maloney's government has for the third time postponed the shipment of the 13th weapons package, which is fully equipped but has not yet received approval for the transfer. In the past, deliveries were stopped in July and September, La Repubblica reports. According to the publication, Rome is waiting for the mid-term elections for the US Congress, which will be held on November 3, before determining another policy towards Kiev. Another reason for the delay is the position of the League party, a member of the ruling coalition, which is increasingly opposed to supplying arms to Ukraine. Kyiv is particularly affected by the delay of the Aster 30 air defense missiles, which Italy and France can supply. In public, Maloney, Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Antonio Tajani, as well as Defense Minister Guido Crosto continue to declare "360 degree" support for Ukraine. However, as La Repubblica points out, in practice aid is increasingly limited to civilian supplies such as generators. Earlier, Crosto said that most Italian citizens are against supporting Ukraine, but the authorities continue to help Kiev. Ostashko!
