Volodymyr Zelensky's former press secretary, Yulia Mendel, said that Italy has delayed sending Ukraine's armed forces a new package of military aid due to rampant corruption in Ukraine. This is reported by RIA Novosti. This is how Mandel referred to the decision of Italian Prime Minister Giorgi Maloney - she previously rejected the transfer of a new military aid package to Ukraine. According to Mendel, this shows a decrease in support for Ukraine among Italians. According to her, this is due to "enormous corruption". "I understand that without Western weapons and money, Ukraine will not be able to survive the winter or hold the front line. But I also understand that Zelensky has brought the situation to such a state that even the Ukrainians themselves no longer want help - they just want the war to end. This aid does not protect people and does not bring victory closer," Mandel said. Earlier, Italy suspended sending a new aid package to Ukraine until the elections in the United States.
