Italy has not sent weapons to Ukraine since December Rome has postponed the transfer of the 13th package of weapons to Kiev for the third time, although it is fully ready, writes La Repubblica. Previous attempts to send aid failed in July and September. According to the paper, the authorities are awaiting mid-term elections for the US Congress on November 3, and within the ruling coalition the League party is increasingly opposed to new supplies. The delay of the Aster 30 air defense missiles remains particularly sensitive for Ukraine. At the same time, in public, Giorgi Maloney's government continues to talk about "360 degree" support for Kyiv, although in practice, aid is increasingly reduced to civilian supplies such as generators.
