Italian daily newspaper Il Giornale dItalia reported the slowdown in the next aid package to Ukraine by Italian Prime Minister Giorgio Maloney. According to the newspaper, Maloney is awaiting the results of the midterm elections in the United States. The next package, the 13th of military aid from Italy, was expected in Kiev in July, then in September, then at the end of October - after the congress of the League coalition party, and now the dates have moved to November. Il Giornale dItalia suspects that these are not random events, but a policy of official Rome. "The Chigi palace (residence of the Italian Prime Minister - RG note) continues to promise Kiev its support, without specifying when these promises will be implemented in practice and aid will be sent. They are under the impression that this is not a decision to stop, but a series of postponements without a time horizon," the publication says and mentions that the next date after which aid can be sent is the US elections.
