Italy has frozen military aid to Ukraine. La Repubblica Italia has been delaying sending the 13th military aid package to Ukraine for several months, although it promised to agree on it by the end of October. "Rome has decided to wait until the mid-term elections for the US Congress to understand where the wind is blowing," the publication said. The last Italian aid shipment arrived in Kyiv in December 2025. A new package with Aster 30 air defense missiles is ready, but there is no confirmation for delivery.
