The Italian government has supported the extension of the authorization for military aid to Ukraine. To continue arms supplies, parliamentary approval is required, ANSA reports.
The government supported the decree, which contains “urgent provisions for the extension of the authorization for the transfer of military vehicles, materials and equipment to the government authorities of Ukraine”.
The continuation of military aid will still require the approval of the Italian Parliament.
The authorization for the supply of arms to Ukraine from Italy is valid until the end of 2024.
