The head of the Italian Foreign Ministry noted that Ukraine did not ask for more than Italy already provides. In addition, the country does not have the British and American weapons that Kyiv needs.
Tajani expressed hope that by the end of the year it will be possible to organize a "significant peace conference" regarding Ukraine.
Military aid for Ukraine from Italy
During the Peace Summit, Antonio Tajani announced a new military aid package for Ukraine. He also invited President Volodymyr Zelensky to visit Italy and assured of constant support from his country.
In addition, at the beginning of May, Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto reported that his country was preparing a new package of military aid to Ukraine.
We have always said that Ukraine should be helped in every possible way, and we are doing it, but we have also always ruled out direct intervention of our military in the conflict.
Italy will increase military aid to Ukraine in 2025 to 1.7 billion euros. Italian Prime Minister George Maloney will undertake such a commitment at the NATO summit currently taking place in Washington.
To date, Italy has provided Ukraine with 8 packages of military aid, including anti-aircraft missiles, artillery, armored vehicles and ammunition.
Italian instructors also teach Ukrainian soldiers to use Western weapons.
