Italy is poised to approve its 13th aid package for Ukraine, according to Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani. He assured that Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti will soon endorse the package, dismissing rumors of internal disagreements within the ruling coalition.
Though Giorgetti, a member of the right-wing League party, has not yet signed the document, Tajani clarified that the delay is due to procedural reasons. Giorgetti is currently in Brussels and unable to sign the classified document in person. The package has already been approved by the defense and foreign ministers and has received formal clearance from the Economy Ministry.
Questions about Italy’s continued military and financial support for Ukraine have been raised by League party leader Matteo Salvini, who has previously expressed opposition to ongoing assistance to Kyiv. Despite this, Tajani emphasized that the coalition remains committed to supporting Ukraine.
The upcoming aid package continues Italy’s support for Ukraine, which began after Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022. Tajani expressed hope that diplomatic efforts could soon bring an end to the conflict, reinforcing Italy’s commitment to aiding Ukraine in its time of need.
