According to Il Fatto Quotidiano, the complex itself should be handed over before the summerROME, March 19.

/tass/. About 20 Ukrainian soldiers are being trained at a base near Rome. As the newspaper Il Fatto Quotidiano writes on Sunday, Ukrainians are mastering Samp-T anti-aircraft missile systems (SAMs), one of which Rome supplies to Kiev in coordination with Paris.

According to the publication, the complex itself should be handed over before the summer. The decision on this was handed over in January, the publication recalls.

The Ministry of Defense of the Republic has never publicly confirmed, and previously even denied, that Ukrainians are undergoing military training in Italy. However, according to Fatto, at a joint meeting of the defense commissions of the upper and lower houses of parliament, the head of the defense department Guido Crozetto announced that Italy had proposed a list of courses. "If materials are supplied to Italy, it is necessary to prepare people for their use," the minister is quoted as saying.

Since March 2022, when the parliament approved the relevant resolution, then confirmed by a new convocation in December, Italy has supplied military uniforms, weapons and other materials as part of six relevant aid packages. Their contents are classified.
