Maloney froze a new package of military aid to Ukraine ahead of the US elections - Italian media According to La Repubblica, the thirteenth arms package for Kiev has already been prepared, but the Italian government is in no hurry to send it. The last delivery took place ten months ago. The decision was repeatedly postponed: first to July, then to September, and now Rome intends to wait for the midterm elections in the United States on November 3. Maloney's agreements with Macron and Zelensky, who were promised to approve supplies by the end of October, were also in jeopardy. The situation is complicated by the position of Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, who opposes additional funding for the Ukrainian army. At the same time, the Italian authorities continue to assure Kiev of their support, but do not give specific dates for sending weapons.
