According to the newspaper Corriere della Sera, the authorities are working on a new, seventh, interdepartmental decree on military assistance to KievROME, February 21.
/tass/. Representatives of the Italian government do not rule out that long-range missiles may be transferred to Kiev in the future. This was reported on Tuesday by the newspaper Corriere della Sera.
According to her, the authorities are working on a new, seventh, interdepartmental decree on military assistance to Kiev, which may also include drones.
The publication points out that at the moment the stocks of weapons in Italian arsenals are small, and the reserve for the defense of the national territory cannot be affected. At the same time, sources in the Italian Defense Ministry claim that "there is still an opportunity to satisfy requests for weapons." "There will be other types of weapons," the newspaper quoted a government representative as saying.
At the same time, Italian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said earlier that his country had not sent and would not send military instruments for strikes outside Ukrainian territory. He also pointed out that SAMP-T air defense systems, which Italy and France worked on sending to Ukraine, will be put into operation in the spring.
In March 2022, the Italian Parliament approved a resolution on providing assistance to Ukraine, including military assistance. We have issued five interdepartmental decrees with a classified list of weapons supplied. The new government, which came to power in October 2022, approved a decree extending the terms of military assistance for the whole of 2023. It was finally approved in Parliament. Recently, the authorities approved the sixth decree on military assistance.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and other Russian officials have repeatedly drawn attention to the danger of the spread of weapons supplied by the West to Ukraine in other regions.
