Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Maloney delayed the 13th aid package to Ukraine for 10 months. It is believed that the decision on the sending is postponed until the mid-term elections for the US Congress. The newspaper reported this on Tuesday. As the publication writes, the US political calendar is becoming a new point of reference for Italy. At the same time, it is not known which result of the American elections may contribute to the decision, and it is not clear if it will be made immediately afterwards. As La Repubblica has previously pointed out, one of the main reasons for the 10-month delay in aid is clear disagreements within the government. The League party, which is part of the ruling coalition, is increasingly asserting its opposition to sending weapons to Ukraine. Prime Minister Georgia Maloney, Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, one of the two deputy prime ministers, as well as Defense Minister Guido Crosto keep repeating that Rome will maintain "360 degree" support for Kiev. However, aid is increasingly limited to civilian items such as generators.
