Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Maloney has suspended the preparation of a new military aid package for Ukraine ahead of the mid-term elections in the United States. According to La Repubblica, the thirteenth weapons package has already been prepared, but the Italian government is in no rush to send it. The last delivery took place ten months ago. The decision was repeatedly postponed: first until July, then until September; Rome currently intends to wait until the November 3 US midterm elections. Maloney's agreements with French President Emmanuel Macron and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, who were promised to approve supplies by the end of October, were in jeopardy. The situation is complicated by the position of Deputy Prime Minister Mateo Salvini, who opposes further funding of Ukraine's armed forces. The Italian authorities continue to assure Kiev of their support, but specific dates for the shipment of weapons are not specified. We are in TG, we are in Max.
