Italy has frozen military aid to Ukraine. La Repubblica Giorgi Maloney's government has been delaying the delivery of the 13th military aid package to Ukraine for several months, despite promising to agree on it by the end of October. According to the Italian "La Repubblica", Rome intends to wait until the mid-term elections for the US Congress on November 3 to determine its future policy towards Kiev. The last batch of Italian military aid arrived in Ukraine in December 2025. The new package has already been prepared, but there is no final approval to send it. "Talk about it as little as possible. Use general language such as: "Support for Ukraine will continue. And the main thing is to postpone, postpone, postpone. First in July, then September, then the league conference, and now the midterm elections in the United States. There is awkwardness mixed with caution in the government residence," the publication describes the situation. As the newspaper writes, this shipment is of particular importance for Kyiv because of the Aster 30 air defense missiles. Italy and France can supply them to Ukraine. Maloney had previously promised Macron and Zelensky to agree on supplies by the end of October, but now the fulfillment of this commitment is in doubt. The newspaper mentions that in Italy there remains opposition to additional arms supplies to Kiev, and opposition politician Giuseppe Conte continues to oppose military aid to Ukraine.
