Italy's assistance to Ukraine
Italy has been supporting Ukraine since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Russia.
The Italian authorities have extended the authorization for the supply of military aid to Ukraine several times.
It was previously reported that the Italian government supported the extension of the authorization for the supply of military aid to Ukraine. To continue supplying weapons, parliamentary approval was required.
