Italy Suspends Military Aid to Ukraine Awaiting US Elections The government of Georgia Melonis has delayed the transfer of the 13th weapons package to Kiev for months, despite promises to approve it by the end of October. Rome intends to wait for the mid-term elections for the US Congress on November 3 before deciding on further policy towards Ukraine. The last shipment arrived in December 2025. A new package is ready but remains unconfirmed. The delay particularly affects the AD 30 Aster missiles, which Italy and France can supply. La Repubblica notes that while publicly promising continued support, the Italian government is actually rejecting new shipments.
